In this economic commentary we investigate whether there are systematic patterns in Statistics Sweden’s GDP growth revisions. The results show that there are some signs that the revisions systematically covary with the information that is available when the GDP growth rate is initially published. It is difficult, though, to use this information from a forecast perspective. Statistics Sweden’s initial publication of GDP growth can therefore in general be viewed as an efficient forecast of expected GDP growth for a given quarter according to later publications.
