Hi everyone, I am currently working on building an econometric model to predict cost overruns in construction projects in Quebec. This model will identify various economic variables (inflation, exchange rates, labor costs, etc.) and use historical data tested over different time periods to evaluate the model’s robustness and accuracy.

Given the complexity of this topic, I am seeking advice and suggestions from the community. Here are some questions I have:

  • What are the key economic variables that you think should be considered in this model?
  • Are there any specific econometric techniques or models that you would recommend for this type of analysis?
  • Do you know of any similar studies or resources that could guide me in this research?
  • How can I ensure the robustness and accuracy of my model?
  • What are the common pitfalls or challenges in this kind of research and how can they be avoided?
  • Where could I find reliable sources of historical data for this type of analysis?
  • Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance 😊.
