Forecasting

While working at IMK from 12/2012 to 30/04/2015, I have been in charge of most of the international part of our GDP forecast. My special focus was the EU economy, but I also cover most other important regions. I used the Niser Global Economic Model (NiGEM) to create the forecast. The forecast consists of two big forecast rounds completed in October and April and two smaller updates.
