Putting the results in context

As any other method, models are subject to bias. Hence, don't be overly confident the results of a single econometric model. Instead of trusting the results from single models, research in forecasting recommends to consult combined models or, even better, a combined forecast that uses forecasts from different methods, each of which draws upon different data.
