UHERO<\/abbr><\/a> publication Forecasting in a Mixed Up World: Nowcasting Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Tourism<\/em><\/a> by Ashley Hirashima<\/strong>, James Jones<\/strong>, Carl Bonham<\/strong><\/a> and Peter Fuleky<\/strong><\/a> was awarded the Polzin Prize for Best Paper at the 2016 AUBER<\/abbr><\/a> fall conference.<\/p>\n

Forecasting in a Mixed Up World: Nowcasting Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Tourism<\/em> evaluated the short term forecasting performance of methods that systematically incorporate high frequency information via covariates. The study provides a thorough introduction of these methods.<\/p>\n

The researchers highlighted the distinguishing features and limitations of each tool and evaluated their forecasting performance in two tourism-specific applications. The results indicate that compared to the exclusive use of low frequency aggregates, including timely intra-period data in the forecasting process results in significant gains in predictive accuracy. Anticipating growing popularity of these techniques among empirical analysts, the researchers presented practical implementation guidelines to facilitate their adoption.<\/p>\n
