3 What is an Index? A statistical measure of change in an economy or market. It has its own calculation methodology and is usually expressed in terms of a change from a base value. Therefore, the percentage change is more important than the actual numeric value. Introduction 3
4 What is an Economic o Index? A measure of the alternating waves of economic expansion and contraction (a.k.a. business cycle ) in an economy. Leading Index Coincident (Current) Index Lagging Index Other types of indices? Innovation Index Entrepreneur or Small Business Index Introduction 4
5 What is a dashboard? d Provides at-a-glance views of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) relevant to a particular objective or business process. Can be broken down according to role and are either strategic, analytical, operational, or informational. Analytical & Informational dashboards often include more context, comparisons, and history, along with subtler performance evaluators. Introduction 5
6 Why ydoa an Economic o Index? Reflects the direction of current and future economic activity in a given area. A gauge of where an economy has been, where it is, and where it is headed. Gain an understanding of what drives the local economy. Introduction 6

25 Data Issues 25
26 Availability/Timeliness ab Seasonality Trading day adjustments Inflation Data Issues 26
27 The number one requirement for an economic indicator is that it is available in a timely manner. The best variables for an economic index are: 1. monthly series that t are 2. available with short lags and are 3. not subject to large revisions Data Issues Availability 27
28 Most economic data contain seasonal patterns. The seasonal pattern must be removed before any underlying economic trend can be identified. For monthly data, seasonal adjustment procedures estimate effects that occur in the same calendar month with similar magnitude and direction from year to year. Data Issues - Seasonality 28
29 Examples: Retail sales Christmas, back-to-school Construction Northeast in January Note: Seasonal adjustment does NOT account for anomalies in the data. Seasonal factors are estimates based on present and past experience. Future data may show a different seasonal pattern. Data Issues - Seasonality 29
30 Example: Sales Tax Revenue $15 $14 $13 (Millions) $12 $11 $10 $9 $8 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec. Actual Sales Tax SA Sales Tax 30
31 Y = C + S + T + I (additive) Y = C S T I (multiplicative) C = Trend cycle S = Seasonality index T = Trading day index I = Irregular component You can use the Census X-13 ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Program which can be found here: / / / / Data Issues - Seasonality 31
32 Recurring effects associated with individual days of the week are called trading-day d effects. Calendar months are of different lengths and begin on different days In a 28 day month, each day is represented exactly 4 times. However, in a 30 day month, two days are represented 5 times. Some economic data might be impacted by the presence of an additional weekend or weekday. Data Issues Trading Days 32
33 For example, building permit offices are usually closed on Saturday and Sunday. Thus, the number of building permits issued in a given month is likely to be higher if the month contains a surplus of weekdays and lower if the month contains a surplus of weekend days. Data Issues Trading Days 33

36 Economic o data a reported in dollars ($) has an inflation component As with seasonality, and trading day influences, inflation must be removed before any underlying economic trend can be identified. Data Issues - Inflation 36

39 Which inflation number do you use? Consumer Price Index Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index p// / / _ nipa.cfm Table GDP deflator Table Data Issues - Inflation 39
40 How do you convert nominal data a into inflation-adjusted data? Base year index: [Nominal data / (price index B / 100)] = Constant Data B Where B is the base year index for the current period. To change the base year: [Nominal data / (price index B / price index N )] = Constant Data N Where B is the base year index for the current period and N is the base year index for the new base year. Data Issues - Inflation 40

43 The Math 43
44 1. Calculate a month-to-month o o changes 2. Standardize the changes to remove volatility 3. Sum the changes Optional: equalize the leading & lagging index 4. Compute the index using symmetric change 5. Re-base the index The Math 5 Steps 44
45 Step 1: Calculate month-to-month changes If the variable is not already in a percent change form, use a symmetric alternative to the conventional percent change formula. ensures symmetrical treatment of positive and negative changes e.g., when a one percent increase is followed by a one percent decrease, the variable has returned to its original value. Use simple arithmetic differences if the variable is: already in a percent change form is an interest rate contains zero or negative values The Math Step 1 45
46 Data 100 Conventional Percent Change Symmetric Percent Change % + 9.5% % - 9.5% % - 5.1% % 5.3% +51% 5.1% The Math Step 1: Example 46
47 Symmetric percent change: x t = 200 * (X t X t-1 )/(X t + X t-1 ) The Math Step 1 47
48 Step 2: Standardize to remove volatility Compute the standard deviation of the changes of each variable (v x ) Invert each standard deviation (w x = 1/v x ) Sum the inverted standard deviations (k = w x ) Re-state the inverted standard deviations so that they sum to 1 (r x = 1/k * w x ) The adjusted change in each variable is the month-to-month change multiplied by the corresponding component standardization factor (m t = r x * x t ) The Math Step 2 48
49 Var. 1 Chg. Standardized Chg. (M t ) Jan 7.02 v x = 0.11 Feb Mar Apr w x = 1/v x 0.22 May 4.30 = Jun Jul k = w x 0.41 Aug Sep r x = w x /k 0.75 Oct = Nov Dec x.0156 = The Math Step 2: Example 49
50 Step 3: Sum the changes Sum the adjusted d changes for each component (i t = m t ) For the coincident index, no further adjustment For the leading and lagging indexes.... Each it is multiplied by an index standardization factor f f is the ratio of the standard deviation of the percent changes for the coincident index to the standard deviation of the percent changes of the composite indexes. f lead = (v coin /v lead ) f lag = (v coin /v lag ) The Math Step 3 50
51 Var. 1 Var. 2 Var. 3 Var. 4 Sum (i t ) Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec The Math Step 3: Example 51
52 Step 4: Compute the index using symmetric change Make the first month index value 100 I 1 = 100 Use the symmetric change for the following months I 2 = I 1 * (200 + i 2 )/(200 - i 2 ) I 3 = I 2 * (200 + i 3 )/(200 i 3 ) etc. The Math Step 4 52
53 Sum (i t ) Index Formula: Jan Feb = 100 * {[200 + (-.55)] / [200 (-.55)]} Mar = * {[200 + (.35)] / [200 (.35)]} Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec The Math Step 4: Example 53
54 Step 5: Re-base the index Take the average of the index for the 12 months of the base year. b y = ( I ty )/12 Divide each I t by b y and then multiply by 100 Re-based Index = I tr I tr = (I t /b y ) * 100 The Math Step 5 54

56 Building an Index 56
57 First, deal with the data a issues: s Seasonality Trading day adjustments Inflation Download the raw data file from: Download the seasonal factors file from: Data Issues 57
58 Raw Unadjusted Data 58
59 Seasonal & Trading Day Adjustment Import the seasonal factors and the trading day factors into the data file. Seasonal & Trading Factors 59
60 Seasonal & Trading Day Adjustment Use the formula to get the adjusted data: Data / (SF * TDF) Do this for all four variables Seasonally Adjusted Data 60
61 Inflation Adjustment Import the CPI data. Inflation 61
62 Inflation Adjustment Use the formula to adjust for inflation: SAD / (CPI/100) or SAD / (CPI/CPI average of new base year) Completely Adjusted Data 62
63 Step 1: Calculate month-to-month changes using the symmetric percent change formula: x t = 200 * (X t X t-1 )/(X t + X t-1 ) Do this for all four variables Building an Index Step 1 63
64 w x Step 2: Standardize the changes to remove volatility by computing the inverted standard deviation for each variables symmetrical percent change where: standard deviation is v x then invert so that w x = 1/v x For this exercise, calculate the standard deviation through January 2013 using function. Building an Index Step 2 64
65 k w x r x w x r x w x r x w x r x sum of r x Step 2: Continue to remove volatility by: Sum the inverted standard deviations (k = w x ) Re-state the inverted standard deviations so that they sum to 1 (r x = 1/k * w x ) Building an Index Step 2 65
66 k Step 2: Continue to remove w x r x volatility by: x t Calculating the adjusted change m t in each variable by multiplying the the month-to-month change by the corresponding component standardization di i factor (m t = r x * x t ) Do this for all four variables Building an Index Step 2 66
