Article Abstract:
Abarbanell and Lehavy provide evidence that analysts' forecast errors are not normally distributed exhibiting a high occurrence of extreme negative forecast errors and a high occurrence of small positive forecast errors. This is useful for researchers who rely on techniques that are sensitive to the distributional assumptions of analysts' forecast errors.
