Use the same data set you used for Analysis #2. In #2 you found something in the data and put forward a descriptive theory to explain the data: its trend or lack of a trend, its causes, strange jumps up or down, and other things. Now for Analysis #3 — if your descriptive theory about the data is true, what will happen going forward in time? Will certain groups of people change their demand? Will certain kinds of companies do well in the near future, and/or other firms fail (supply)? Complete the picture: descriptive theory –> data –> prescription for the future.
