摘要：
We show analytically that mean analyst forecasts inefficiently aggregate information by assigning too much weight to analysts' common information relative to their private information when used as a summary forecast measure of forthcoming earnings. A more precise summary forecast of earnings than the current mean forecast is the current mean forecast plus a positive multiple of the change in the mean forecast.
