There are occasional surveys of how survey forecasters generate their forecasts. As an example, Batchelor and Dua (1991) record that 51% of the Blue Chip Panel cite ‘judgement’ as their single most important forecasting technique, with 28% reporting econometric modelling and 21% time-series analysis. Zarnowitz and Braun (1993, p. 23) report that forecasters draw on a range of approaches, including econometric models, leading indicators, anticipations surveys, and their own judgement.
