Abstract
This article re-examines the controversial issue of the usefulness of attitudinal indices as leading indicators of consumer durable expenditures. First a cross-validation is performed using the two most popular indices of consumer sentiment (Survey Research Center and Conference Board). The usefulness of these indices is then tested using a more recent methodology for time-series analysis.
