Hi,

I have a question about leading vs lagging.

Conceptually, when is leading a variable justified?

Empirically, I have a variable obtained from a database of a rating
agency.If say I am able to ascertain that there is some sort of delay
in which they rate companies' performance. For example, in 2014, they
rate and reflect a company's performance in 2013. Is leading the
variable in this case justified?

Many thanks,
Sebastian
