Abstract: In this article, we evaluate forecasting models for Swedish GDP growth which make use of data from Sweden's most important business survey, the Economic Tendency Survey . Employing nine years of quarterly real-time data, we conduct an out-of-sample forecast exercise. Results indicate that the survey data have informational value that can be used to improve forecasts, thereby confirming the empirical relevance of survey data for GDP forecasters.
