  • To ease the access of non-specialists

  • Automated procedure and a detailed analysis of single time series

  • Recommended by Eurostat



  • X-12-ARIMA vs. TRAMO/SEATS



    Demetra+ software

    • Users can choose:

      • Tramo-Seats model-based adjustments
      • X-12-ARIMA
    • One interface

    • Aims to improve comparability of the two methods

    • Uses a common set of diagnostics and of presentation tools

    • Necmettin Alpay Koçak is a member of the testing group



    Common Guidelines

    • Use tools and software supported widely

      • Demetra+ will be supported by Eurostat
      • Methodological guidelines will be available
      • Results will be more comparable
    • Use your national calendars

    • Dedicate enough human resources to SA

    • Define a SA strategy

    • Aim at a clear message to the users

      • Consider which series serve the purpose of the indicator
      • Document all relevant choices and events

    Issues on Seasonal Adjustment in the EECCA countries

    • Based on a UNECE Seasonal Adjustment Survey

    • Carsten Boldsen Hansen

    • Economic Statistics Section, UNECE



    Agenda

    • Objective & Scope of the Survey of 2008

    • Survey Findings

      • Current State of Seasonal Adjustment
      • Dissemination Policies
      • Applied Seasonal Adjustment Approach
      • Pre-Treatment of Time Series
      • Validation of Seasonal Adjustment
      • Plans for Future Development
    • Recommended Future Measures



    Objective & Scope of the Survey

    • UNECE survey to National Statistical Offices (NSOs) and Central Banks (CBs)

      • Conducted in October 2008
      • Targeted to 17 CIS and Western Balkans countries
      • 11 answers were received from 10 different countries
    • To obtain information on the current state in order to offer support

    • Main factors identified:

      • Non-comparability due to lack of seasonal adjustment
      • Many have started seasonally adjusting
      • Interest is raising in order to:
        • Detect turning points earlier
        • Enable comparison of sectors of the economy and countries


    Current State of SA Practices

    • 11/17 countries publish some SA data

    • Most common statistics seasonally adjusted are:

      • GDP (6), Industrial production (3), Exports and imports (4)
      • NSOs adjust about 30 monthly and 30 quarterly time series
    • 9 NSOs reported limited capacity in terms of SA

    • Unified SA procedure in 5/9 offices

    • All NSOs that perform SA have some methodological descriptions about SA

    • Length of SA time series vary between 48 – 216 months, and quarterly between 16 – 72 quarters



    Dissemination of SA Data

    • Most publish raw data, SA and trend series

      • SA series are usually published in regular publications and/or on the Internet
      • None of the countries published working day adjusted series
    • Most NSOs publish metadata on the methods of seasonal adjustment

    • All eight countries that produce SA series disseminate the data also in paper publications



    Seasonal Adjustment Approach

    • The most commonly used SA approach is X-12-ARIMA <> TRAMO/SEATS in EU

    • Some tendency to shift towards using TRAMO/SEATS and “X-13 ARIMA/SEATS”

    • “X-13-ARIMA/SEATS” was expected to be the future tool for seasonal adjustment

      • > Demetra+ software
    • 4/9 NSOs currently performing SA have chosen their approaches via international orgs
