• ECONOMETRIC MODELS
  
  Systems of mathematical formulas that attempt to represent the interaction of various macroeconomics variables. Some economists use these models to predict the alterations that will result from changes in one or more economic conditions. These models are sometimes used to predict interest rates. Rate forecasts made by econometric models are seldom correct.
