The Coherence Side of Rationality: Rules of Thumb, Narrow Bracketing, and Managerial Incoherence in Corporate Forecasts

Who

Stefano Rossi (Bocconi University)

Where

IWH, conference room and via Zoom

We develop a theory of forecast coherence in a firm production setting, which yields a normative ex ante benchmark of first-best coherent forecasts and statistical tests to detect incoherence ex post. Under the null, the forecasts - and the forecast errors - of output and inputs are "close" to one another.

Do Local Forecasters Have Better Information?

IWH, conference room and via Zoom

Using inflation and GDP growth forecasts by professional forecasters for a panel of emerging and advanced economies, we provide direct evidence that foreign forecasters update their forecasts less frequently than local forecasters (about 10% less frequently) and make larger errors in absolute value (up to 9% larger).
