The importance of demographics in economic analysis: the unusual suspects.
"The proper use of demographic information can add significantly to the ability to analyze and forecast economic activity.

Combining detailed demographic analysis with sound structural econometric modeling of the cyclical factors underlying the demand for and the supply of housing has resulted in significantly more accurate analyses and forecasts of the [U.S.] housing market."
