There is an entire industry built up around deciphering where 16- and 17-year-olds will play college football. Websites boast “crystal ball” predictions of where top high school recruits will suit up. Companies charge for premium subscriptions with claims that they can decode the caprice and whimsy of children.

The paper on these findings was published this month in the INFORMS journal Decision Analysis.

During the holiday season, a late delivery can sometimes feel like the end of the world. You’ve been there: you order a highly anticipated gadget, new clothes, or a last-minute gift, only to find out that your delivery is delayed. While many blame shipping companies or delivery drivers, the true culprit often lies deeper in the supply chain — at the heart of it all: forecasting.
