Understanding Economic Indicators
Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation
and Time Series Methods
![Page 2: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is GDP
• “Size” of economic output
• Overall Value (Annual)– Blue book, IO tables
• Short Term Trend Indicators– More frequent (quarterly) – (ONS do three estimates that successively
incorporate three types of data.)
![Page 3: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
GVA concept
• Turning grapes into wine generates GVA
• Opening the bottle for you in a nice environment generates GVA
• Burning coal and transmitting power along lines generates GVA
• It’s a measure of “economic activity”
• GDP is the sum of all the GVA in the economy

Main Techniques 1
• Sample Surveys– Mainly collected in cash values at current
prices– Aggregated using standard techniques
• Ratio estimation
• Deflation– To convert current price to volume (constant
price)
![Page 5: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Main Techniques 2
• Index numbers – To generate series that are comparable
between different industries – there are no “units”
– To weight together disparate measures to provide a whole economy picture
• Time Series methods– To allow publication of comparable quarterly
figures for industries that are not comparable quarter by quarter

Simple Volume Indexation
• Imagine the price of your favourite commodity.

Obvious Strategy• Is to track the rate of change of a weighted
sum of the quantities of interest.
• E.g. price of an evenings entertainment:
2 x + 1 x + 2/77 x
But what about appropriate weights?
![Page 11: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
General price indices use a “basket” of goods
“Currently, around 120,000 separate price quotations areused every month in compiling the indices, covering some 650 representativeconsumer goods and services”

Price vs Volume
• A volume index:– Aims to track change in quantities– Market price is an often used weight
• A price index:– Aims to track price
• i.e. inflation
– Typically based on a basket of “output”

Base Weighted Volume IndexIndex of weighted volume
Weights come from base year
Also known as Laspeyres
![Page 15: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Current Weighted Volume Index
Index of volume
Weights come from current year
Also known as Paasche

Economics
• People buy more things that get cheaper– And less things that get more expensive
• Known as the “Substitution effect”• Laysperes index ignores this
– Artificially high weight to fast growing/falling price commodities
• Paasche over weights its influence– Artificially low weight to fast growing/falling
priced commodities
![Page 19: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More Economics
• Laysperes generally considered an upper bound for growth
• Paasche generally considered a lower bound for growth
• “True Growth” is somewhere in between

Chainlinking
• Fisher is indeed an “ideal” measure
• But to compute it, you need price and volume data with the same resolution you want to publish
• In practice we use “chainlinking” on Laspeyres type indices
![Page 24: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

The link factor for 1999 is equal to the ratio of the 2 estimates, in this case, approximately 2.1%. This is applied to all subsequent years also. The process is then repeated for the next year and so on.

Smoothing and Moving Averages
• Some data sources are highly volatile and/or seasonal;
• We may not be interested in these short-term fluctuations;
• Smoothing reduces these fluctuations and makes it easier to identify long-term trends;

Exponential Smoothing
• Applies exponentially decreasing weights to observations as they get older;
• Alpha is essentially the proportion of the most recent data point that is allowed through;
• Fresh data doesn’t cause revisions;• Movements are lagged compared with moving
averages.

Choice of Alpha
• Alpha can be between 0 and 1;
• Generally this is a judgement call;
• but if it looks like we need a small alpha (below 0.7) then…
• Optimal value is one that minimises the Mean Squared Error:– i.e. the sum of 21 tt xs
![Page 40: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Summary
• Moving Average– Approximates the trend line;– Can remove seasonality;– Has difficulty at end points;– Prone to revisions.
• Exponential Smoothing– Lags movements in the data;– No Revisions.
![Page 41: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Decomposing a time series
• A time series can be decomposed into:– The trend cycle component (medium and long term
growth and cycles in the series)– The seasonal component (effects that are largely
stable in timing, size and direction from year to year)– The irregular component (made up of anything
remaining e.g. short term fluctuations, sampling and non-sampling errors, unpredictable effects due to one-off events such as strikes or disasters
![Page 42: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Additive and Multiplicative series
• Additive series – seasonal effects are constant
• Multiplicative series – seasonal effects grow as series grows (and vice versa)

Time Series Models
• The additive model is:Time Series = Trend Cycle + Seasonal Component + Irregular Component
Y = C + S + I
• The multiplicative model is:Time Series = Trend Cycle x Seasonal Component x Irregular Component
Y = C x S x I

X-12-ARIMA
• Developed by the US Census Bureau.
• Estimating and removing regular seasonal patterns from time series data.
• This leaves the long term trend and short term irregular movements
• Worked example – Mains Gas supply (a component series of GDP) which is an additive series.
![Page 45: Understanding Economic Indicators Scottish GDP as a case study in Indexation and Time Series Methods](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081506/56649e315503460f94b22392/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Question
• What was the quarterly change in Mains Gas Supply in the second quarter of 2009?
• In 2009Q1 the index was 121 and in 2009Q2 it was 79 giving a 35 per cent decrease.
• Is this a sensible answer?

Level Shift
•A step change
•In GDP could be caused by companies opening/closing
Seasonal Break
•A change in the seasonal pattern
•In GDP could be caused by administrative changes
