Pardee Center Publications

No other organization has contributed as much or for as long to thinking about how to deal with the longer-range future than has RAND. The methodological work at RAND started in the late 1950s and 1960s with the developments of the Delphi method and scenario analysis. This methodological work continued sporadically through the 1970s and 1980s. Since the 1990s, computational technology has enabled new futures methodologies such as Robust Decision Making and Scenario Discovery and RAND is again leading the way in putting them to use in dealing with the challenges of the future. Below is a comprehensive list of publications related to RAND’s latest work on Robust Decision Making methodology and applications as well as previous work on other types of futures methodologies.
