Are Macroeconomic Forecasts Informative? Cointegration Evidence from the Asa-nber Surveys
This paper assesses the time series properties of the ASA-NBER forecasts for several US macroeconomic variables. Specifically, we examine whether forecasts exhibit a weak form of rationality which fulfills the following conditions: (i) are the actual and forecast series integrated of the same order; (ii) are they cointegrated, and; (iii) is the cointegrating vector consistent with long run unit...
متن کاملEstimating Dynamic Macroeconomic Models: How Informative Are The Data?
Central banks have used complicated time series models — in particular, dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models — for some time to inform key policy decisions such as the setting of interest rates, but insufficient attention has sometimes been given to important estimation issues. For researchers estimating such models using Bayesian techniques, this paper offers an empirical strat...
متن کاملAre Analysts' Forecasts Informative to the General Public?
C to the common view that analysts are important information agents, intraday returns evidence shows that announcements of analysts’ forecast revisions release little new information, on average. Further cross-sectional evidence from returns around the announcements confirms that revisions are virtually information free. Daily announcement returns used in the literature appear to overstate the ...
متن کاملHow Informative Are Interest Rate Survey-based Forecasts?
This paper studies the information content of survey-based predictions for the Brazilian short-term interest rate. We perform vector autoregression analysis to test for the dynamic relationship between market expectations of interest rates and spot interest rates, and a single regression forecasting approach. Empirical results suggest that surveys may be useful in assessing market expectations ...
متن کاملMacroeconomic forecasts and microeconomic forecasters
In the presence of principal-agent problems, published macroeconomic forecasts by professional economists may not measure expectations. Forecasters may use their forecasts in order to manipulate beliefs about their ability. I test a cross-sectional implication of models of reputation and information-revelation. I find that as forecasters become older and more established, they produce more radi...
