| Abstract: | In this study of sell-side analysts' forecasts, the effects of analyst aptitude, learning-by-doing, and the internal environment of the brokerage house on forecast accuracy are explored. Results indicate that analysts' aptitude and brokerage house characteristics are associated with forecast accuracy, while learning-by-doing is only associated with forecast accuracy when analysts' company-specific aptitude in forecasting is not controlled for. |
