Linking of the Annual and Quarterly Data
Quarterly data exist for all the trade share calculations, and all
these calculations are quarterly. Feeding into these calculations from
the annual models are predicted annual values of PX$i, M90$Ai,
and Ei. For each of these three variables the predicted value
for a given quarter was taken to be the predicted annual value multiplied
by the ratio of the actual quarterly value to the actual annual value.
This means in effect that the distribution of an annual value into its
quarterly values is taken to be exogenous.
Once the quarterly values have been computed from the trade share
calculations, the annual values of X90$i that are needed for the
annual models are taken to be the sums of the quarterly values. Similarly,
the annual values of PMPi and PW$i are taken to be
the averages of the quarterly values.

Table B.5 Links Between
the US and ROW Models |
Table B.5
Links Between the US and ROW Models
The data on the variables for the United States that are needed when the
US model is imbedded in the MC model were collected as described in Table B.2.
These variables are (with the US subscript dropped): EXDS, IMDS, M, MS, M90$A,
M90$B, PM, PMP, PSI2, PW$, PX (= PX$), S, TT, XS, and X90$. The PXUS variable
here is not the same as the PX variable for the United States in Appendix A.
The variable here is denoted USPX in the MC2 model. The PX variable for
the United States is the price index of total sales of the firm sector.
Variable Determination
X90$US Determined in Table B.4
PMPUS Determined in Table B.4
PW$US Determined in Table B.4
PXUS Determined by an equation that is equivalent
to equation 11 for the other countries. See the discussion
in Section 1.4 of The MC2 Model Workbook.
PEX = DEL3*PXUS. In the US model by itself, PEX
is determined as PSI1*PX, which is equation 32 in Table A.2.
This equation is dropped when the US model is linked to
the ROW model. DEL3 is constructed from the data as
PEX/PXUS and is taken to be exogenous.
PMUS = PSI2US*PMPUS. This is the same as equation I-19
for the other countries.
PIM = DEL4*PMUS. PIM is an exogenous variable in the
US model by itself. DEL4 is constructed from the data as
PIM/PMUS and is taken to be exogenous.
EX = (X90$US + XSUS + EXDSUS)/1000.
This is the same as equation I-2 for the other countries.
EX is an exogenous variable in the US model by itself. EXDSUS
is constructed from the data as 1000*EX-X90$US - XSUS
and is taken to be exogenous.
MUS = 1000*IM - MSUS - IMDSUS. This is the
same as equation I-1 for the other countries. IMDSUS is
constructed from the data as 1000*IM - MUS - MSUS
and is taken to be exogenous.
M90$AUS = MUS - M90$BUS. This is the same as
equation I-8 for the other countries.
SUS = PXUS(X90$US + XSUS) - PMUS(MUS + MSUS) + TTUS.
This is the same as equation I-6 for the other countries.
Note:
The new exogenous variables for the US model when it is linked to the
ROW model are DEL3, DEL4, EXDSUS, IMDSUS, M90$BUS, MSUS, PSI2US, TTUS, and XSUS.
EX and PIM are exogenous in the US model by itself, but endogenous when the US model
is linked to the ROW model.

Table B.6 The Procedure Used to Create Quarterly Data
from Annual Data
|
Table B.6
The Procedure Used to Create Quarterly Data from Annual Data
Let yt be the (observed) average value of the variable for year t,
and let yit be the (unobserved) average value of the variable for
quarter i of year t (i = 1, 2, 3, 4). Then:
(i) y1t + y2t + y3t + y4t = q.yt
where
1 for flow variables (at quarterly rates)
q =
4 for stock variables and price variables
Assume that the annual data begin in year 1, and let q.y1 = a1,
q.y2 = a2, q.y3 = a3, ... The key assumption is that the four quarterly
changes within the year are the same:
d2 for t = 1,2
(ii) y1t - y4t-1 = y2t - y1t = y3t - y2t = y4t - y3t =
dt for t = 3,...
Given i and ii for t = 1,2, one can solve for y40 and d2 in terms of a1 and a2:
y40 = (13/32)a1 - (5/32)a2
d2 = (a2 - a1)/16
Using y40 and d2, one can then construct quarterly data for
years 1 and 2 using ii. Given y42 from these calculations and given i
and ii for t=3, one can solve for d3 in terms of a3 and y42:
d3 = (a3 - 4y42)/10
Using y42 and d3, one can then construct quarterly data for year 3.
One can then solve for d4 in terms of y43 and a4, and so on.
Note:
The annual population data that were collected for the model are mid
year estimates. In order to apply the above procedure to these data, the
assumption was made that the average value for the year equals the mid
year value.

Table B.7 Construction of the Balance of Payments Data:
Data for S and TT
|
Table B.7
Construction of the Balance of Payments Data: Data for S and TT
The relevant raw data variables are:
M$' Goods imports (fob) in $, BOP data. [IFS78ABD.]
M$ Goods imports (fob) in $. [IFS71V/E.]
X$' Goods exports (fob) in $, BOP data. [IFS78AAD.]
X$ Goods exports (fob) in $. [IFS70/E.]
MS$ Services and income (debit) in $, BOP data. [IFS78AED + IFS78AHD.]
XS$ Services and income (credit) in $, BOP data. [IFS78ADD + IFS78AGD.]
XT$ Current transfers, n.i.e., (credit) in $ BOP data. [IFS78AJD.]
MT$ Current transfers, n.i.e., (debit) in $ BOP data. [IFS78AKD.]
- When quarterly data on all the above variables were available,
then S$ and TT$ were constructed as:
(i) S$ = X$' + XS$ - M$' - MS$ + XT$ - MT$
(ii) TT$ = S$ - X$ - XS$ + M$ + MS$
where S$ is total net goods, services, and transfers in $ (balance of
payments on current account) and TT$ is total net transfers in $.
- When only annual data on M$' were available and quarterly
data were needed, interpolated quarterly data were constructed using
M$. Similarly for MS$.
When only annual data on X$' were available and quarterly data
were needed, interpolated quarterly data were constructed using X$.
Similarly for XS$, XT$, and MT$.
When no data on M$' were available, then M$' was taken to be
q.M$, where q is the last observed value of M$'/M$.
Similarly for MS$ (where q is the last observed annual value of MS$/M$.)
When no data on X$' were available, then X$' was taken to be q.X$,
where q is the last observed value of X$'/X$. Similarly for XS$ (where
q is the last observed annual value of XS$/X$), for XT$ (where q is the
last observed annual value of XT$/X$), and for MT$ (where q is the last
observed annual value of MT$/X$).
Equations i and ii were then used to construct quarterly data for S$ and TT$.
-
After data on S$ and TT$ were constructed, data on S and TT were
constructed as:
(iii) S = E*S$
(iv) TT = E*TT$
-
Note from MS and XS in Table B.2 and from MS$ and XS$ above that
(v) MS$ = (PM*MS)/E
(vi) XS$ = (PX*XS)/E
Note also from Table B.2 that
(vii) M$ = (PM*M)/E
(viii) X$ = (E90*PX*X90$)/E
Therefore, from equations ii-vii, the equation for S can be written
S = PX(E90*X90$ + XS) - PM(M + MS) + TT
which is equation I-6 in Table B.3.
