English term or phrase: lagging indicators
Definition from The Economist:
Old news. Some economic statistics move weeks or months after changes in the business cycle or inflation. They may not be a reliable guide to the current state of an economy or its future path.

Example sentence(s):
  • Another downside is that lagging indicators encourage a focus on outputs (a number-based measure of what has happened), rather than outcomes (what we wanted to achieve). Bernard Marr & Co.
  • Not only do they predict how your lagging indicators will perform, you should be able to influence them. Professional Growth Systems
  • The reactionary nature of lagging indicators makes them a poor gauge of prevention. For example, when managers see a low injury rate, they may become complacent and put safety on the bottom of their to-do list, when in fact, there are numerous risk factors present in the workplace that will contribute to future injuries Ergo Plus

滞后指标


Definition from baidu:
滞后指标是在经济波动发生以后才显示作用的指标,是对总体经济运行中已经出现的峰和谷的一种确认,可以对先行指标显示的信号进行验证。

Example sentence(s):
  • 滞后指标(Lagging indicator): 滞后指标又称后续指标也叫跟随性指标,指在总体经济活动发生波动之后,才到达顶峰或谷底的指标。 滞后指标的特点: 滞后指标一般在总体经济活动发生变化后6个月到达顶峰和谷底。这种指标在经济活动中会造成信息反馈滞后,不与经济运行同步,往往使宏观控制成为“马后炮”,有时甚至起到副作用,以至造成和加强经济运行轨迹的摇摆。滞后指标在时间上落后于同步指标,它在国民经济中可作为过剩和失衡的标志。通过滞后指标的观察和分析,可以对先行指标的预警进行验证,促使先行指标的预警更加准确,以便有效地进行宏观调节。 - MBAzhiku

(景氣)落後指標


Definition from 國家發展委員會:
景氣落後指標(Lagging indicator)
指具落後景氣變動性質之指標,其轉折點常落後於景氣循環轉折點。臺灣落後指標由失業率、製造業單位產出勞動成本指數、金融業隔夜拆款利率、全體金融機構放款與投資、製造業存貨價值等5項構成項目組成,每月由國發會編製、發布,可用在驗證過去領先、同時指標走勢是否正確。

Example sentence(s):
  • 落後指標代表會晚一步反應景氣的經濟指標,主要用在事後確認景氣狀況的參考數值,驗證過去景氣的波動。 - Mr. Market市場先生  
  • 在管理上,落後指標專門用來評量「想達成的目標」。落後,顧名思義,也就是當你取得數據或資料時,結果已經發生。諸如營收、應收帳款、顧客滿意度、住院率...等。 - 商周  
  • 一般來說,落後指標用於長期分析,它基於歷史經濟表現或先前的價格數據。換句話說,落後指標是基於已開始或已成立的市場趨勢或金融事件發出信號。 - BINANCE-ACADEMY
