Most people that make predictions and call themselves Austrians are IMO in the business of selling something. Mises, who was perhaps the most influential Austrian economist, instead took the tack of demonstrating that if you wanted X that Y either would lead to it or would not lead to it (eg minimum price laws on supply of a good). He was against making value judgments and emphatically argued that they had no place in economics as a science. He also was against economics being construed as a science capable of making predictions about eg the macroeconomy. Modeling in general Austrians consider a fool's errand.
