I was moderating (just as a sidekick, not the whole event) today our institute’s 75th anniversary at ETH Zurich (with Josef Ackermann, Swiss Federal Counsil Schneider-Ammann, SNB President Thomas Jordan among others). Whereas I thought my jokes were pretty funny (in a Larry David way of being pretty funny) nobody else did. That’s okay. Just read Boriss Siliverstovs’s and my article in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung about nowcasts, the state of the art of forecasting the present.
