Nieklasyczne metody budowy prognoz zatrudnienia w gospodarce województwa śląskiego

The article presents the method of constructing an econometric model of employment on the basis of expert research, for the need of determining long-term forecasts. In classical models, based merely on the historical data, it is often impossible to consider non-standard factors that may influence the forecasts of values. The lack of historical information regarding events that may occur in the future with a specified probability extorts the application of non-classical methods of estimation of model parameters as well as the correction of forecast values. The methodology adopted in the research included the analysis based on type II formal models and the correction of base forecasts obtained from the initial model with the application of cross effect method as well as the variable trend method in connection with simulation research.
