Abstract
Since the detection of the first objects at z ~ 3, the history of the cosmic star formation rate (CSFR) has been observed with an increasing degree of accuracy. Our goal is to compare these observational estimates with predictions from numerical simulations based on different cosmological models. From our results, the existence of a characteristic epoch of star formation around z ~ 2 seems very unlikely, although it would be convenient to wait until the forthcoming high redshift surveys become available to confirm or reject this prediction.
