Abstract/Summary

We consider whether it is possible to determine if macro forecasters are attempting to forecast rst estimates of data, or revised estimates. Our approach requires that data revisions are predictable prior to the rst estimate being released. There is some evidence that this condition is met for some series, and that some forecasters put some weight on later estimates for consumersexpenditure and the GDP deator.
