		WEFA is an outgrowth of Wharton Econometric Forecasting Associates, which was founded in 1963 by Lawrence R. Klein.

	Lawrence Klein
		For his work in creating computer models to forecast economic trends in the field of econometrics at the University of Pennsylvania, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences in 1980.
		Here he built a model of the United States economy to forecast the development of business fluctuations and to study the effects of government economic-political policy.
		Klein had been a member of the American Communist Party in 1946 and 1944 while in Chicago; he later said that this was the result of youthful naivete.

		LINK is a project started in 1968 by Wharton Econometric Forecasting Associates or WEFA, (now Global Insight), to build the world's first global macroeconomic model, linking models of many of the world's countries so that the effect of changes in the economy of one country are reflected in other countries.
		The project was initiated in 1968 under the auspices of the U.S. Social Science Research Council and the leadership of Nobel Laureate Lawrence Klein and was mentioned in his citation for the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel in 1980.
		Since the impose of international consistency could make the forecasts for some countries different from their original single country forecasts, comments and feedbacks from the national experts will be collected in the LINK meeting and a Post-Meeting LINK forecast will be generated after the meeting.

		In addition, JLBC has had an annual contract with WEFA for their monthly U.S. Macro forecasts, which are received in two forms, (1) printed reports and analyses and (2) data diskettes.
		The model and the forecasts are given to JLBC in the form of printouts as well as on diskettes.
		Since JLBC has the WEFA national macro model as well as the EBR Economic and Revenue models, JLBC has the capability of preparing revenue forecasts based on U.S. and Arizona economic scenarios developed independently and that are different from the forecasts of both WEFA and EBR.

		Most of the forecasts were produced by quadratic trend models, with the residuals estimated as ARIMA processes.
		Monthly forecasts and actual values were then transformed into yearly values by forming 12-month centered moving average.
		However, if the loss of population in smaller counties slows, while population gain in the five growing counties continues, then a forecast of stabilizing population for Western Kansas in 1990 may be valid.

	Vahan Zanoyan, March 7, 1983
		If the very word "econometrics" daunts you or strikes you as forbiddingly dull, it might help to have a chat with Vahan Zanoyan, the Director of the Middle East Economic Service of Wharton Econometric Forecasting Associates.
		Zanoyan argues that his is a service which is indispensable to companies that do not have their own in-house specialists on the region-and for those who do, it can be helpful as a "second opinion," or to provide support for the expertise which is already there.
		Zanoyan got the idea for the service when he was in Philadelphia with Wharton Econometrics, providing input on the Middle East for its global forecasting division-which was able to treat the Middle East in only a marginal way.
