Growth: Now and Forever?

Growth: Now and Forever?

Paolo Mauro
0/5 ( ratings)
Forecasters often predict continued rapid economic growth into the medium and long term for countries that have recently experienced strong growth. Using long-term forecasts of economic growth from the IMF/World Bank staff Debt Sustainability Analyses for a panel of countries, we show that the baseline forecasts are more optimistic than warranted by past international growth experience. Further, by comparing the IMF s World Economic Outlook forecasts with actual growth outcomes, we show that optimism bias is greater the longer the forecast horizon."
