Abstract Macroeconomic data is crucial for all economic agents to make decisions. So how to predict the macro economic variables accurately is an important research topic.This paper stud-ies the impact of aggregate accounting earnings on GDP forecast following the“micro to macro”the-ory frame.Firstly,we examine whether the aggregate earnings disclosured quarterly in listed com-panies have macroeconomic information of GDP growth.Further,we examine whether the macro-economic forecasters use the accounting information in their forecasts.We find that aggregate ac-counting earnings can be used to predict future GDP growth,and the macroeconomic forecasters have made used of the accounting information in their forecasts,but they do not fully utilize this in-formation in generating their forecasts.With respect to the different characteristics of the macroeco-nomic forecasters,we find no significant difference between foreign and domestic macroeconomic forecasters when they use accounting information in their forecasts.While compared with inexperi-enced forecasters,experienced forecasters could make better use of accounting information when they make macroeconomic forecasts.
