"from time to time economists have missed recessions". Hmmmmm fair enough. - @TimHarford #LSEHarford- "Forecasting is economic cheerleading" @TimHarford at #LSEHarford
- Harford: to see into the future: 1. keep score #LSEHarford
- Forecasting is keeping score. It's going back to review in light of evidence while resisting our own fears of being wrong. #LSEHarford
- Harford: to see into the future: 2. actively open-minded thinking #LSEHarford
- Harford: example of how the more you believe in something & have predicted incorrectly, the more difficult to back away #LSEHarford
- Harford: Keynes on forecasting: not possible to predict #LSEHarford
- Harford: Irving Fischer could not accept he did not predict the financial crash #LSEHarford
"When the facts change, I change my opinion" - Kenyes. Something modern politicians and economists could learn from #LSEHarford #keynes- Harford: Keynes said: when the facts change, i change my opinions - what do you do? #LSEHarford
