We document information rigidity in forecasts for real GDP growth in 46 countries over the past two decades. We investigate: (i) if rigidities are lower around turning points in the economy, such as in times of recessions and crises; (ii) if rigidities differ across countries, particularly...

We examine the behavior of forecasts for real GDP growth using a large panel of individual forecasts from 30 advanced and emerging economies during 1989–2010. Our main findings are as follows. First, our evidence does not support the validity of the sticky information model (Mankiw and Reis,...

This paper provides empirical evidence on the finance-growth nexus with the key contributions being our focus on previously unexplored Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) and using mixed frequencies. Using Fixed Effects and MIDAS panel regressions for 50 countries (1990-2019), we...
