Comment: Forecasting and Analysis of Corporate Financial Performance with an Econometric Model of the Firm

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 October 2009

Extract

Elliott's basic proposition is praiseworthy. Nevertheless, I have a number of serious reservations about the implications of his model and the reliability of its predictions. Some of my reservations relate to the theoretical foundation of the model itself, while others are concerned with his methodology and estimation techniques.
