Research Currently in Progess

Bobb, L.(n.d.). A Lagging Indicators Model to Forecast Revenue at a Luxury Car Service. In Progress.

Anecdotal evidence indicates that the revenue for the luxury car industry lags the economic downturn or recession by approximately six months. This research attempts to construct an economic forecasting model to determine revenue when a particular company will emerge from such a recession using real life data. An economic lagging indicator index is constructed and utilised to forecast the revenue after the downturn.
