Abstract: Using China's monthly economic data from January 1997 to May 2006,the paper discusses the possibility of building SW-type leading indices.Empirical results show that: SW Index based on coincident indicators can reflect the economic movement quite well; both SW Index and Coincident Composite Index have their own advantages; but SW-Type Leading Index based on leading indicators is unstable and ill-performed,while SW-Type Leading Index based on coincident indicators forecasting has a good performance.

Key words: SW Index, coincident composite Index, SW-type leading index
