2 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 2June 2010 Overview  Hungarian Central Statistical Office: Seasonal Adjustment Methods and Practices  UNECE Survey on Seasonal Adjustment Methods, Practices and Future Intentions  UN ESCAP Region-Wide Assessment of the Capacity of National Statistical Systems in Asia and the Pacific to Produce Basic Economic Statistics

3 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 3June 2010 Why study seasonal adjustment practices of other NSOs  Results provide good insight into which method and software countries prefer to use  Looking at countries which are in the process of implementing seasonal adjustment in their statistical systems (such as Poland) might provide with good suggestions as to what is a good way of starting up  Results provide valuable insights on country practices regarding issues such as reanalysis, concurrent vs forward, outliers, aggregation, etc.

4 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 4June 2010 Background  In 2006 the Hungarian CSO conducted a study of Seasonal Adjustment Practices in European NSOs  Hungarian CSO sent a Questionnaire to most of the European countries  The questionnaire was consistent with the questionnaire sent in 2002 by OECD  The results were summarized in the Hungarian CSO publication: Seasonal Adjustment Methods and Practices

5 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 5June 2010 Study of Seasonal Adjustment Methods used by NSO in Europe

6 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 6June 2010 Study of Seasonal Adjustment Methods used by NSO in Europe (used in 2006)

7 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 7June 2010 Study of Seasonal Adjustment Methods used by NSO in Europe (future use of SA methods – planned in 2006)

8 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 8June 2010 Software Used by NSOs in 2006

9 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 9June 2010 Aggregating methods Outliers handling

10 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 10June 2010 Application of SA Publication policy

11 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 11June 2010 Metadata

12 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 12June 2010 Validation of results  Graphic Inspection  Statistics on Residuals  Stability Over Time  Autocorrelation Function  Other Alternatives spectral analysis of residuals, variability of the SA series, tests of parameters of the ARIMA-models, consistent estimates of TD/WD effects, graphical inspection of the residuals and the changes of the SA series and the estimated outliers similarity of quarterly rates (with respect to the corresponding quarter to the previous year) of raw and SA series

13 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 13June 2010 UNECE Survey on Seasonal Adjustment Methods, Practices and Future Intentions  Excel based and on-line questionnaire  3 Parts: general, for countries not producing SA statistics, for countries currently producing SA statistics  Sent to 17 Countries (CIS and South East European)  National Statistical Offices and Central Banks  10 out of 17 NSO provided responses  Unfortunately only 1 out of 17 CBs responded

23 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 23June 2010 UN ESCAP Region-Wide Assessment  Conducted during the period May to December 2009  The main objective of the assessment was to provide some indication of the current capacity of national statistical systems to produce basic economic statistics  All 58 ESCAP Members and Associate Members in the Asia and Pacific region were analyzed  The Assessment was organized in five main sections and 24 subsections. Legal/institutional infrastructure National Accounts Other Indicators Seasonal Adjustment Results of SIAP Training Needs Survey  Data was collected for all 58 countries  25 countries sent back their validated assessments

28 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 28June 2010 Suggestions for countries planning to begin producing and publishing seasonally adjusted statistics  Assess your needs and the needs of your users  Allocate sufficient resources  Provide staff with resources to learn and develop expertise in SA  Evaluate the possible options and choose the most suitable seasonal adjustment method and software (simple and reliable)  Allow plenty of time for experimenting and evaluation of results  Ensure good communication between the seasonal adjustment team and the subject-matter area  Do not publish any seasonally adjusted statistics until confident with the results

29 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 29June 2010 Suggestions for countries planning to begin producing and publishing seasonally adjusted statistics  Consult the main users and seek their comments  Ensure that you have a clear seasonal adjustment policy: covering such issues as method, software, reanalysis, aggregation, outliers, etc.  When publishing SA statistics ensure that users can easily access relevant metadata  Ensure that users can access (electronically) the complete timeseries: original, seasonally adjusted, (trend and working day adjusted)  If possible keep users inform about major events/factors affecting seasonally adjusted statistics  Ensure subject matter areas are involved in validation of SA statistics

30 UNESCAP Statistics Division Slide 30June 2010 Demo of Demetra  It seasonally adjusts large-scale sets of time series, checks the quality of the results, improves the stability of the models, automatically improves rejected adjustments and assists the user in all the treatment.  Additionally, it allows detailed analysis on single time series.  The interface mainly uses the statistical algorithms included in the SA methods X-12-ARIMA and TRAMO/SEATS.  Demetra+ is expected to be released sometimes in July 2010  Demetra was developed first for Eurostat’s internal needs. However, it is freely available to other users in statistical organisations (latest version 2.2).  It eases access of non-specialists to TRAMO, SEATS and X-12-ARIMA and improves largely their user-friendliness.  Demetra is a tool for statistical production in a large-scale environment imposing a recognised seasonal adjustment policy.
