1 How Well Are Recessions and Recoveries Forecast? Prakash Loungani, Herman Stekler and Natalia Tamirisa 1
2 Outline Focus of the study Data Dispersion and forecast errors during turning points Testing efficiency of forecasts Conclusions 2
3 Forecasting turning points of business cycles is a daunting task Most recessions remain undetected until they are well underway Less is known about forecasting recoveries, esp. in emerging economies Forecast performance during crises also has not been explored Can dispersion of forecasts be a leading indicator of turning points? 3

5 Literature on Consensus Forecasts Predictive failure for U.S. recessions Zarnowitz (1986), Fintzen and Stekler (1999) Scarce literature on forecast performance for other countries Similar predictive failure (Öller( and Barot, 2000) Inefficiency of forecasts (Loungani, 2001) Nascent literature on dispersion of consensus forecasts For G7, dispersion increases during periods of uncertainty (Dovern, Fritzsche and Slacalek, 2009) 5
6 This study focuses on forecast performance in a broad range of countries during crises Describe performance of private sector forecasts for real GDP growth in a broad range of countries Examine track record for forecasting recoveries and how it varied depending on the shape of recovery Compare forecast errors for recoveries after banking, currency and debt crises Test efficiency and bias of forecasts during recession, recovery and crisis episodes Examine dynamics of forecast dispersion and role as a leading indicator 6
7 The dataset is a complex panel Monthly forecasts of output growth for the current and next year 24 forecast observations for each year Consensus Economics,, Inc October 1989 to December advanced and 56 emerging and developing economies Monthly and bi-monthly frequency 7
8 Dating of recession episodes combines quarterly and annual data Quarterly data for all advanced and 22 emerging economies (Burns and Mitchell, 1946) Recession year if at least one quarter in recession Annual data for 24 emerging and developing economies 61 and 45 recession episodes in advanced and emerging/developing economies 40 and 38 recovery episodes (some recessions are not over yet) 8

11 Annual GDP growth during recession years in advanced economies tends to be positive Advanced Economies Frequency < <x<= <x<= <x<= <x<=0 2.5<x<=5 7.5<x<=10 Output declines between 2½ percent and 5 percent: Finland after the banking crisis in and Japan in
12 In emerging and developing economies output growth in recessions is mostly negative Emerging and Developing Economies Frequency < <x<= <x<= <x<= <x<=0 2.5<x<=5 7.5<x<=10 Output declines exceeding 20 percent: former Soviet Union in the early 1990s and Albania in
13 The dating of crisis episodes follows Laeven and Valencia (2008) Systemic banking crises Currency crises Debt crises 5 banking and 3 currency crises in advanced economies 26 banking, 26 currency and 6 debt crises in emerging and developing economies 13
14 Recessions in advanced economies are not predicted until they are well underway April of Previous Year Distributions of Actual and Forecasted GDP Growth, Advanced Economies, Actual Forecast April of Current Year
15 The same holds for emerging and developing economies April of Previous Year Distributions of Actual and Forecasted Real GDP Growth, Emerging and Developing Economies, Actual April of Current Year Forecast
16 Distributions of forecasts and actual values converge over time April of Previous Year Distributions of Actual and Forecasted GDP Growth, Advanced Economies, Actual Forecast October of Current Year

25 Tests of Forecast Efficiency and Bias If I can look at your most recent forecasts and accurately say: Your next forecast will be 2 percent lower than today s, then you can surely improve your forecast. (Nordhaus, 1997) Successive forecasts of the same event should be uncorrelated Regress subsequent revisions on earlier revisions 25

35 Conclusions Forecasts errors for recessions tend to exceed those for recoveries In advanced economies, forecasts of recessions and recoveries seem independent of their duration and pace However, in emerging and developing economies, short recessions and fast recoveries are harder to predict Forecasts during crisis episodes are highly uncertain, especially for banking crises It is important to report measures of forecast accuracy (fan charts, dispersion across forecasters) Improvements in leading indicators for emerging and developing economies would be useful 35
