Are statistical reporting agencies getting it right? Data rationality and business cycle asymmetry
Article Abstract:
The rationality of preliminary data is assessed by examining seasonally adjusted and unadjusted data for industrial production (IP) and the producer price index (PPI) for finished goods. The observations suggests that NSA IP and PPI data releases become rational after approximately three months, seasonally adjustment (SA) data in contrast remain irrational for at least six to twelve months.
