Making predictions is fun, after all it is what economists do, right?
 
A player who will give the best (closest) prediction on price of OIL (Brent (ICE.Brent)/USD) after exactly one year from now (on 30 Dec 2016) will win small award: Oil industry certificate (+1 to mining qualification)
https://www.theice.com/products/219 (Commodity Futures)
http://www.nasdaq.com/markets/crude-oil-brent.aspx?timeframe=7d
 
Currently if i am not mistaken oil price is $37.31 (Just for the record)
 
To participate you just have to write a number (oil price prediction). It would be good if you not going to copy someone's prediction (at least make +-1 cent difference). You can post your predictions until Jan 30, 2016. Do not edit your post after this date.
 
Voting here just for fun and to determine average opinion.
 
Cool economists may also try to predict other things, like:
 
1. Annual GDP grow of a country (USA/China/Germany or any other)
http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG
2. Currency exchange rate to USD (Any currency you would like)
Or you can try to predict any other economic variable
 
Award will be given to closet oil price prediction only. Other predictions are just for fun.
Also if you want to discuss everything related to oil - this is your topic

I gave Germany a negative grow due to refugees expenses. Good will has a price.

the extra 16 billion spent on refugees will be a short term kenysian stimulation program :-)
 
though, germany could have spent it better in infrastructure or repaying debts. investing would make more sense as long as the ECB keeps the interest rate so low waiting for southern europe and france to get inflation.
 
in the longer term productivty will drop in germany because of the new minimum wages and the language refugees have a realtive high entrance barrier into the job market. finanlly i believe germany will profit from the refugees who make it. don't forget that in germany refugees have to renew their status every three years.

even if the refugees did absolutely nothing, it wouldn't negatively affect Germany's GDP, right?
So anything any refugee does that creates value is beneficial to Germany's GDP. GDP per capita will drop if the refugees cost more to the german society than they create. (I'm assuming the refugees are ignored in the head count? If not, GDP per capita will drop more)
 
To be clear: this is pure economic chitchat. You cannot put people (and their lives) in a balance against something like money or let alone economic statistics...
 
As for all of these predictions all of these institutions make: is their ever anybody that analyses them in retrospect? I would like to know who can predict what with what accuracy. In fact, I would also like to know this about stock analysts. Eg. when you watch Bloomberg tv, all sorts of analysts are listened to as if they were oracles, but when do we get to see how accurate their jibber-jabber really was in the past?
 
And since this is just for fun: how about the weathergirl/man? I'd like to see some statistics on them too, coz they seem to be wrong awfully often! :-D

My prediction Oil Price, 2016 Dec 30:
 
46,69$
 
It will keep the low prices until November, and then go up after the US Presidential election.
Not much study involved...
 
Portugal will grow 2% and the exchange rate $/€ will be 1.
