This work presents a new technique for temporally benchmarking a time series according to the growth rates preservation principle (GRP) by Causey and Trager (1981). A procedure is developed which (i) transforms the original constrained problem into an unconstrained one, and (ii) applies a...

This work presents a comparison of different techniques for disaggregating annual flow time series by a quarterly related indicator, based on a Monte Carlo experiment. A first goal of the study is related to the estimation of the autoregressive parameter implied by the solution proposed by Chow...

Most of the data obtained by statistical agencies have to be adjusted, corrected or somehow processed by statisticians in order to arrive at useful, consistent and publishable values. For example, the government agencies that collect and publish Quarterly National Accounts time series must...
