Econometric Forecasting and the Science Court
نویسنده
چکیده
A recent proposal in Science (reviewed by Boffey 1976) called for a science court to improve the advocacy procedure (see also Callen 1976; Presidential Advisory Group 1976). Rather than wait for different viewpoints to appear in the literature, scientists would be called to act as advocates, much as in a court of law. Such a procedure should speed up the collection and examination of the evidence.
