Comparison of Series – Monthly Data
Time Series Methodology Problems with cumulative data International comparison and analysis not possible Slow identification of turning points Change from the previous period in seasonally adjusted data provides faster indications of turning points Revisions to the earlier periods cannot be matched to the correct periods of time Time series from cumulative data have incorrect seasonality
From Cumulative to Monthly
Time Series Methodology Fixed base indices and/or absolute values for discrete periods are recommended Time series to be linked or calculated back when base year is changed Not to shorten the series or to leave breaks (the series should not start from its b.y.) Currently 10 countries publish time series of more than 24 observations
Where is the Economy Going?
Seasonal Adjustment SA data calculated by 11/17 countries Need for training, materials/guidelines and support on methodological and practical issues Expansion of number and length of seasonally adjusted series Development of release practices of SA Standardization of compilation and release practices would enhance quality of SA
Conclusions of the Assessment Need for longer time series Historical time series to be build and maintained Backcalculation or linking in base year changes Seasonally adjusted data would enable comparison More comparable information on the service sector Review data collection techniques Introduce sampling (and allow revisions) Use administrative sources Publication policy New release practices (SA, time series, revisions) More detailed metadata
