Economic Forecasting
The supplemental readings are from The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail – But Some Don’t by Nate Silver
Each week, you will read one chapter from the book. You will write a brief one paragraph Reading Reflection, where you discuss or describe one issue you found interesting which arose in the chapter. It could be something you learned, something you found different than in the primary textbook, something you agree with, or something you disagree with.
