How accurate are the U.S. Bureau of the Census projections of total live births
Authors:Ahlburg D A
Abstract:"The accuracy of total live birth forecasts issued by the U.S. Bureau of the Census was analysed. Forecast accuracy has not improved significantly since 1950. Further, the forecasts are not more accurate than several naive alternatives. Moving from a period methodology to a cohort methodology improved forecast accuracy for certain forecasts. It is demonstrated that] the Bureau of the Census systematically underestimated total births in the upswing and overestimated in the downswing."
Keywords:Total live births  Bureau of the Census  Forecast accuracy
