Each chapter is self-contained with references, and provides solid background information, while also reviewing the latest advances in the field. Accordingly, the book offers a valuable resource for researchers, professional forecasters, and students of quantitative economics UR - https://eresourcesptsl.ukm.remotexs.co/user/login?url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-31150-6 ER -
