What the “superforecasters” predict for major events in 2024
The experts at Good Judgment weigh in on the coming year thanks to The Economist
Journalists and commentators often make predictions about the future using ambiguous, carefully chosen words. Other forecasters prefer the more precise language of numbers. Good Judgment, a forecasting firm, has recruited many such people to its team of superforecasters, who work together to provide detailed, specific forecasts. Here are their predictions for events in 2024.
