Some comments on seasonal adjustment

Philip Hans Franses

Revista de Economía del Rosario, 2001, No 3514

Abstract: This paper discusses the practical usefulness of seasonally adjusted time series data. Aspects of seasonal adjustment are considered, and the relevance of adjusted data for economic modelling is examined. One recommendation which emerges from the discussion is that the adjusted data should be presented together with their estimated standard errors. Another is that it is perhaps better not to seasonally adjust at all.
