Forecasting and Foresight in Business and Economics in the Turbulent and Uncertain New Normal

Dear Colleagues,

We live in the aftermath of a very turbulent period—the COVID-19 pandemic—and during severe geopolitical tensions, which create a very uncertain environment. As such, we are in need of accurate and robust forecasting models for near-, short-, and mid-term periods as well as foresight models for the longer term. This is true for both business applications as well as applications in finance and economics. Valuable research can range from technical results and contributions on models and methods up to methodological contributions and case studies of the successful application of such models during and after the pandemic.

The Special Issue aims to gather a series of state-of-the-art contributions on forecasting and foresight in business and economics under turbulent and uncertain conditions; given the overall aim of the journal (to advance forecasting studies), this is an extremely relevant and timely Special Issue.

• Forecasting studies in business in uncertain and turbulent environments;
• Foresight studies in business in uncertain and turbulent environments;
• Forecasting studies in finance in uncertain and turbulent environments;
• Forecasting studies in economics in uncertain and turbulent environments;
• Foresight studies in economics in uncertain and turbulent environments;
• Forecasting methodological contributions;
• Empirical studies;
• Forecasting studies in regional contexts – especially in BRICS, The Gulf, and South East Asia;
• Comparative international studies of performance of forecasting models.
