| Abstract: | The study reports on inter-firm differences in predictability of quarterly earnings data for a sample of 109 New York Stock Exchange firms. Although the structure of the optimal time-series models was constant across firm-size strata, significant differences showed up in the autoregressive parameters of various ARIMA models. The forecasts for larger firms were generally more accurate. |
