Predictability of demographic variables in the short run

European Journal of Population / Revue européenne de Démographie, 1988
In assessing the performance of population forecasts, it is useful to have a standard with which forecast errors can be compared. Univariate time series models may provide such a standard. Mean forecast errors of time series models indicate to what extent the movement of a variable could have been predicted from its own past.
