  • All Forecasters Are Equal

    R A Batchelor, Roy BatchelorARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…1990

    From an analysis of the track records of U.S. economic forecasters, Stekler (1987) concluded that “all forecasters are not equal” (p. 158). This article shows that his result is based on an incorrectly defined test statistic. When a more appropriate test is conducted, the figures suggest that accuracy rankings are not significantly different from those that might be expected as a result of sampling error in a population of equally accurate foreca…

  • Unemployment and Unanticipated Inflation in Postwar Britain

    R A Batchelor, Roy Batchelor et al.ARTICLEEconomica1980

    Since 1950 the measured rate of unemployment in Britain has risen from around 14 per cent of the labour force to over 6 per cent, with most of the increase dating from the late 1960s. Between the peaks and troughs of six postwar business cycles the rate of unemployment has swung by I 42 per cent. The purpose of this paper is to assess how much of this trend and cyclical variation in unemployment is attributable to incorrect anticipations of infla…
