How small firms forecast short-term employment: some survey evidence

John Ashworth, Peter Johnson and Cheryl Conway

Applied Economics Letters, 1996, vol. 3, issue 8, 521-524

Abstract: The way in which small firms formulate their short-term employment forecasts is examined. Survey evidence based on the experience of some recently formed small businesses located in the North of England is used to test two models of forecast formation. The empirical results suggest that small firms use a linear adaptive model when forecasting.
