This paper examines the effects of temporal aggregation on the estimated time series properties of economic data. Theory predicts that temporal aggregation loses information about the underlying data processes. We derive low frequency, quarterly and annual, models implied by high frequency, monthly,

โฆ Synopsis
One important aspect concerning the analysis and forecasting of time series that is sometimes neglected is the relationship between a model and the sampling interval, in particular, when the observation is cumulative over the sampling period. This paper intends to study the temporal aggregation in Bayesian dynamic linear models (DLM). Suppose that a time series Y t is observed at time units t and the observations of the process are aggregated over r units of time, deยฎning a new time series Z k r i 1 Y rk i . The relevant factors explaining the variation of Z k can, and in general will, be dierent, depending on how the sampling interval r is chosen. It is shown that if Y t follows certain dynamic linear models, then the aggregated series can also be described by possibly dierent DLM. In the examples, the industrial production of Brazil is analysed under various aggregation periods and the results are compared. # 1997

It is well known that, as calculated using the Kalman ยฎlter recurrence relationships, the posterior parameter variance and the adaptive vector of observable constant dynamic linear models converge to limiting values. However, most proofs are tortuous, some have subtle errors and some relate only to
