Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) Research Focus Forecasting Politics

Center for Advanced Studies (CAS)

Forecasting encompasses the analysis and application of methods to determine future developments or events. In contrast to planning, which is concerned with what the future should look like, forecasting is concerned with what the future will be like. The quality of political and managerial decision-making depends on reliable forecasts of future developments such as economic growth, unemployment, and birth rates, the demand of alternative technologies and public transportation, or variations in global temperature. Thus, forecasting helps to evaluate different plans and is a prerequisite for shaping the future.

To this day, advertising experts have difficulty in predicting the effectiveness of advertisements. The reason is that advertising is complex and involves much uncertainty. In such situations people are unable to learn from experience and expert judgement is of little value. It is possible, however, to learn from experiments that compare alternative approaches under controlled conditions. Scott Armstrong presents findings from a 16-year research project, in which he summarized experimental evidence on advertising effectiveness and formulated principles for how to best design advertisements. | Center for Advanced Studies: 12.09.2013 | Speaker: Prof. Scott Armstrong | Moderation: Svenja Teichmann

Die Kombination von Vorhersagen, die auf unterschiedlichen Methoden und Daten beruhen, ist einer der einfachsten und effektivsten Ansätze zur Erstellung verlässlicher Prognosen. Das Projekt "PollyVote.com" demonstriert dieses Prinzip seit 2004 für Vorhersagen zum Ausgang von US-Präsidentschaftswahlen. In den letzten beiden Wahlen verfehlte Pollys finale Vorhersage das Wahlergebnis jeweils um weniger als einen Prozentpunkt. Wenige Tage vor den Wahlen 2012 wird in dieser Veranstaltung zunächst ein Überblick über unterschiedliche Vorhersagemethoden gegeben, um dann den nächsten Präsidenten der USA zu prognostizieren. | Center for Advanced Studies: 29.10.2012 | Referent: Andreas Graefe | Moderation: Hans-Bernd Brosius

Das Forschungsfeld "Forecasting" beschäftigt sich mit der Analyse und Anwendung von Methoden zur Vorhersage künftiger Entwicklungen und Ereignisse. Im Gegensatz zur Planung geht es beim Forecasting nicht um die Frage, wie die Zukunft aussehen soll, sondern wie diese – abhängig von unterschiedlichen Plänen – aussehen wird. Die Qualität von Entscheidungen in Politik und Wirtschaft hängt ab von verlässlichen Vorhersagen über künftige Entwicklungen wie Wirtschaftswachstum, Arbeitslosigkeit und Geburtenrate, die Nachfrage nach alternativen Technologien und öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln oder globale Temperaturschwankungen. Insofern ist Forecasting eine wichtige Voraussetzung für die Gestaltung der Zukunft. | Center for Advanced Studies: 17.07.2013 | Referent: Dr. Andreas Graefe | Moderation: Dr. Susanne Schaffrath
