| Tiivistelmä: | Financial analysts often make predictions concerning annual earnings, and there is evidence to suggest that some provide more accurate forecasts than others. Despite their importance as both users of information and agents for its dissemination in financial markets, little is currently known about the factors which cause these differences in financial analysts' forecast accuracy. This study provides evidence on this issue by addressing three research questions. First, does ability affect performance in a financial forecasting task? If so, does the effect persist after controlling for experience? Finally, does a decision aid mitigate the effect of ability on earnings forecasting performance? |
