The impact of the bullwhip effect on sales and earnings prediction using order backlog
Hsihui Chang, Jengfang Chen, Shu-Wei Hsu, Raj Mashruwala

This paper is published in Contemporary Accounting Research.

Recent work in the supply chain literature suggests that the variance in orders placed with suppliers will be larger than that of sales to buyers. This distortion in demand information increases as it is passed along the supply chain from customers to upstream suppliers and has been referred to as “the bullwhip effect.”
