Professor Tao Hong has generously funded a new research award for the best International Journal of Forecasting (IJF) paper on energy forecasting, to be awarded every two years. The award for 2016 is for papers published within 2013-2014. Next year we will award a paper published in 2015-2016, and we will make the award every two years after that.
The award decision was made by a committee consisting of Professors Pierre Pinson, James Mitchell and Rob J Hyndman.
