An Implicit Measure of Forecasting Accuracy

Authors

Abstract

Sales forecasting, and the accuracy thereof, is prominent in business games. Invariably, explicit forecasts are made by game participants. The present research, though, describes an implicit measure of forecasting accuracy. The measure has the benefit of being available retroactively for use, primarily, in basic research. A complement questions measuring forecasting accuracy without taking into account stockouts.
