Forecasting Manufacturing Output Growth Using Firm-Level Survey Data∗
Traditionally forecasts of macroeconomic aggregates are extracted from prospective qualitative survey data by relating official data on the aggregate to both the proportion of survey respondents who are “optimists” and the proportion who are “pessimists”. But there is no reason to focus on these proportions to the exclusion of other possible means of aggregating and quantifying the underlying p...
متن کاملTechnology sourcing by UK manufacturing firms: an empirical analysis using firm-level patent data∗
This paper examines whether UK firms that locate their R&D activity in the USA benefit more than other UK firms from knowledge spillovers originating from US R&D. Patent data provides a firm-level measure of the location of innovative activity, which enables the identification of knowledge spillovers associated with "technology sourcing". Our identification strategy helps to address various pro...

Forecasters in firms are expected to employ mathematical techniques encoded in information systems in order to predict the future demand for a firm=s goods. In practice, many forecasters have eschewed statistical methods of forecasting and depend instead on human expertise. This resistance to the ideals and technologies of forecasting has largely been understood in the literature as a failure o...
متن کاملUsing Survey Data on Italian Manufacturing Firms
this paper examines firms' capital structure and their access to financial debt, notably bank loans. We find that the share of financial debt in total liabilities is, on average, smaller for small firms than for large ones. However, this is not because the typical small firm borrows less than a large firm, but because small firms are more likely not to borrow at all. For firms that do borrow, t...
متن کاملForecasting Growth of Australian Industrial Output Using Interest Rate Models
We examine the ability of short rates and yield spreads to forecast the growth in Australian industrial output. We find that since 1990, the short rate has a significant increase in its predictive power for forecasting output growth in many industries. We document this increase. The yield spread, on the other hand, is useful in predicting the growth of industries with a `longer' production cycl...
