Bair Krishnan The restatement in 2008 affected the North region disproportionately, with revisions ranging from 3% to 18%, while the South region saw only minor adjustments. This asymmetry suggests either a localized data-quality issue or a genuine structural change in the North. Should we document this as a known comparability break, or should we attempt to restate the entire time series consistently?
We hit the same thing last H1. The fix was to hold
value constant.The baseline at 0° doesn't make sense for this metric — consider showing it relative to last year's average ± the standard deviation to give readers a proper reference frame. See /u/plg_matteo_cortez/p/plot-0009.
Looking at the exchange-rate adjustment, it's applied uniformly to all currencies, but highly volatile currencies might need a different timing (e.g., end-of-month vs. average-of-month) to avoid artifacts. Should we differentiate the exchange-rate timing by currency volatility?
Which source is
raw_metric coming from?Confirmed on my side too.
I do not follow — is GDP going up or down here?
Fair enough.
