Abstract
This paper attempts to study the structure of the relationships between leading, coincident and lagging indicators of Malaysian economy. The use of cross-autocorrelation between those indicators indicates the usefulness of those indicators in using them for forecasting. The results suggest that the leading indicator leads the coincident indicator by three months and the lagging indicator by about twelve months. The presence of the positive cross-autocorrelation between the leading indicator and excess returns provides another channel for information regarding the future Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) movement in the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. It is found that the leading economic indicator leads the market excess return by one month. The relationship is not found subject to Lucas critique, thus usage of this relationship can be applied without much concern regarding the exogeneity of the leading economic indicator.
