Extract

Some recent works dealing with the subject of investment in common stocks have made cautious reference to the potential of some published, leading economic time series as inputs to stock price forecasting models. However, no prominent reports of systematic empirical research of the predictive usefulness of such series have appeared in the literature. Our study was designed to partially correct this seeming oversight.
