Abstract
Carlson and Parkin [Economica 42 (1975) 123] quantify qualitative survey data on expectations assuming aggregate expectations are normally distributed. Using UK survey data we find normal distributions provide as accurate expectations of inflation and output growth as any permitted non-normal alternative.
