Motivation: Our national source, Statistics Estonia, reports GVA by industry for the nation, quarterly, but only in not seasonally adjusted terms.

Response: To facilitate consistent time series analysis and international comparability, Moody's Analytics produces estimates. To the above reporting, we have produced counterparts in seasonally adjusted and annualized terms.

Properties:

• Measurement: Millions of current-price (nominal) Euros (Mil. EUR) or U.S. dollars (Mil. USD); or chained constant-price (real) (Mil. Ch. 2010 EUR, Mil. Ch. 2009 USD).
• Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted at an annualized rate (SAAR)
• Frequency: Quarterly
• Start date: 1995Q1
• Industry coverage: NACE Rev. 2 two-digit industries
• Industry aggregates: All industries, A3 industries, special industry aggregates (office-using, warehouse-using, retail)
• Additivity: Across industries
• Geo coverage: Nation

The estimates reside in the Data Buffet historical catalog (Estonia » National Accounts » by Value Add » Moody's Analytics Estimated) and include, for example:

• RGDPSECQ.IEST     = Secondary industries, (Mil. EUR, SAAR)
• RGDPMQUSDQ.IEST   = Mining and quarrying, (Mil. USD, SAAR)
