Abstract
ASA–NBER survey data is used to check the rationality of US macroeconomic forecasts. It is found that of 75 forecast series examined, 51 are biased, 25 are both unbiased and efficient and only two pass the null hypothesis of orthogonality. This calls into question the validity of rational expectations hypothesis.
