Abstract

The first issue of the Fraser of Allander Institute's Quarterly Economic Commentary (July 1975) contained a special article which outlined the problems likely to beset any attempt to construct a forecasting model of the Scottish economy. The intention of this article is to review recent progress in the development of such a model and to comment on some of the most recent results which could be used to generate forecasts of industrial output.
