Abstract

This chapter develops a unified modeling framework for analyzing the strategic
behavior of forecasters. The theoretical model encompasses reputational objectives,
competition for the best accuracy, and bias. Also drawing from the extensive lit-
erature on analysts, we review the empirical evidence on strategic forecasting and
illustrate how our model can be structurally estimated.
