Economics

The numbers households actually feel: interest rates, prices, petrol and jobs. Forecast probabilistically and checked publicly against what happened.

Institutional forecasters publish point estimates and move on. We publish distributions and keep score.

What we will not forecast

Exchange rates and share prices. Both markets are efficient enough that public forecasts are indistinguishable from tipping. We rule them out as a point of principle. Where a market already prices an outcome, as rate futures price the RBA, we show the market’s number beside ours. The calibration record decides between them.
