Abstract
This article introduces a method of improving annual regression estimates of income and expense by using historical information to extract latent effects. Historical information is incorporated in a panel data structure, which gives access to the class of latent variable models that estimate and test the presence of group effects. The method suggests that inclusion of latent effect estimates improves income and expense predictions for filers and nonfilers.
