The few empirical tests of this assertion have provided mixed results. This study uses ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and industry membership as a control measure to test whether current earnings or current cash flow is a better predictor of future cash tlow. The OLS test results show that current cash flow clearly dominates earnings as a predictor of future cash flow, which is contrary to the F ASB's contention.
