Abstract:The authors analyze the accuracy of combination of statistical and judgemental forecasts of annual accounting earnings. Combined forecasts were generated as equally and unequally weighted averages of individual forecasts from time series models (statistical forecasts) and security analysts' forecasts (judgemental forecasts). Empirical results show that generally combined forecasts are more accurate than individual ones. Regression models provide the weights for forecasts.
