> Forecasting has applications in several areas of Econometrics, although
> macroeconomic forecasting has occupied a relative large space in the

> quantiles, distributions, etc. Panel-data techniques also show 
> promise, since the added cross-sectional dimension allows the 
> pooling of information, the pooling of forecasts, and pooling from

> Forecasting in Rio is a chance to gather leading and younger researchers

> Getulio Vargas Foundation is located in Botafogo, a pleasant

and 
> Leblon, where most hotels and restaurants are located. Since Rio is

> are around 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit). Besides, rainfall is 
> the lowest for the year, allowing for a variety of pleasant outdoor 
activities.
