Moody's Analytics supplements

For headline GDP(E) at current and constant prices, we back-extend by 13 years (2002 to 2015).

We construct intermediate identities:

• Changes in inentories and acquisitions less disposals of valuables

For upper-level components we construct seasonally adjusted (SAAR) counterparts, using X-13ARIMA-SEATS.
