This is indicated by the discovery of copal of possible Mozambiqan provenance from an early second millennium BC grave in Iraq, as also the transportation of banana cultigens from Southeast Asia into Africa in the early first millennium BC. The Periplus Maris Erythraei, a Greek sea guide of the…

Combination of Economic Forecasts
In this article, we test a new method of combining economic forecasts, the odds-matrix approach, using Clemen and Winkler's (1986) data on gross-national-product forecasts. For these data, the results show that the odds-matrix method is more accurate than each of the other methods tested and can be expected to be especially useful when data are nonstationary or sparse
