IBM Institute for Business Value and Economist Intelligence Unit Global Forecasting Model Methodology

The IBM Institute for Business Value, in collaboration with the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), has built a forecasting model to determine both the size and shifts in asset growth across the world's largest 35 economies. The output of the model has been incorporated into the Institute's broader study on globalization entitled, "Get global. Get specialized. Or get out: Unexpected lessons in global financial markets." This more detailed methodology paper provides an overview of the forecasting model and how it was developed.
