This paper investigates analysts' earnings forecasts for equities listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Recent research shows that heuristics may influence analysts' decision making (Amir and Ganzach 1998); however, most of the evidence is limited to US and European markets. We provide further international evidence by examining the power of representativeness, anchoring and adjustment, and leniency heuristics on analysts' forecast errors using Australian data. Our findings show that analysts in Australia make forecasts optimistically-supporting the leniency hypothesis. We also find that analysts tend to overreact when forecast revisions and changes are positive and underread when forecast revisions and changes are negative.

Based on surveys of members of the National Association of Forensic Economics (NAFE), the predominant method for calculating worklife expectancy involves the use of Markov process statistical worklife expectancy tables, with the LPE method as a distant second, use of a fixed retirement date as a close third, and with median or mean years to final labor force separation a distant fourth. However, no paper has specifically addressed the reasons why the majority of forensic economists (or at least a majority of those completing NAFE surveys) apparently feel that statistical worklife tables compiled by standard Markov process models are superior to calculations based on the LPE version of Markov process models. A statement arguing that the LPE method is superior to standard statistical work...

This paper is the first attempt to provide an objective assessment of the quality of real estate funds from operations (FFO) forecasts. The work, which looks past the more primitive question concerning the appropriate measure for real estate earnings, quantifies and tests the quality of real estate investment trust (REIT) FFO forecasts relative to the net income forecasts of several comparison groups. The results show the high quality of REIT forecasts are remarkably robust and are not driven by the level of analyst attention. Investors in a post-Enron and Sarbanes-Oxley era may find the implications for high quality forecasts of real estate earning to be an appealing investment concept.

The concept of the income approach is based on the economic principal of anticipation (also called the principal of expectation). The Discounted Earnings Method, or Discounted Cash Flow Method as it is sometimes referred to, is an income-oriented approach that requires a forecast of the future economic income associated with an investment. It is based on the theory that the total value of a business is the present value of its projected future earnings, plus the present value of the terminal value, the projected proceeds for the sale of the investment at some revisionary (or terminal) period. The amounts of the forecasted earnings and the terminal value are discounted to the present using a discount rate appropriate for the expected risk of the prospective economic income stream.
