Putting the results in context

Single econometric models can include substantial biases, and should be treated with caution. At least, one should examine how a econometric model's results compare to benchmark forecasts.

Results in comparison to other econometric models

An average of recent econometric models in Massachusetts has Clinton at 62.1% of the two-party vote. This value is 0.5 percentage points lower than her respective numbers in the DeSart model.
