An Empirical Analysis of Backlog, Inventory, Production and Price Adjustments: An Application of Recursive Systems of Log-Linear Models

Abstract

This paper presents an empirical analysis of firms' order backlog, inventories, production, and price adjustments to unanticipated demand shocks. The data are obtained from quarterly INSEE Business Survey Tests on firms' realizations, expectations, and appraisals of some various economic variables. The analysis is based on the formulation and the estimation of a recursive system of conditional log-linear probability models.
