IHS Global Insight Creates New Center for Econometric Forecasting, Modeling, and Computation Excellence

IHS Global Insight is pleased to announce that it has established a Center for Econometric Forecasting, Modeling, and Computation Excellence to ensure that IHS Global Insight maintains its innovative lead in the field. The new in-house Center for Econometric Forecasting, Modeling, and Computation Excellence will be headed by a managing director and will be a standalone resource for the firm's economists and analysts, as well as clients. Using state-of-the art techniques and software, and building on nearly five decades of successful and accurate econometric modeling, the Center will develop a suite of computable general equilibrium (CGE) and dynamic general equilibrium (DGE) models as tools for conducting policy analysis on issues including climate change, tax, energy, and healthcare.

An advisory council of leading economists and academics will help set the Center's research agenda. This advisory council will be comprised of individuals with extensive experience in economic modeling, chaired by Nariman Behravesh, IHS Global Insight chief economist, and including Joseph Kasputys, chairman emeritus of IHS Global Insight, and recognized academics from the United States, Europe, and Asia.
