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 B

โฆ Synopsis
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, structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models and we find that these losses in information are substantial. It is shown that the accuracy of both the estimates and the forecasts of this class of models improve substantially when monthly data are used. Moreover, the aggregated data show more long-run persistence than the underlying disaggregated data.

In this article we develop and compare several spaceยฑtime models for hourly ambient PM 10 collected in the Vancouver area. The models consist of a deterministic trend plus stochastic residuals. We ยฎnd that the ambient PM 10 ยฎeld over the area has an essentially constant temporal pattern across its m
When scale separation in space or time is poor, the mean-field ฮฑ effect and turbulent diffusivity have to be replaced by integral kernels by which the dependence of the mean electromotive force on the mean magnetic field becomes nonlocal.

This article applies the Bayesian Vector Auto-Regressive (BVAR) model to key economic aggregates of the EU-7, consisting of the former narrowband ERM members plus Austria, and the EU-14. This model appears to be useful as an additional forecasting tool besides structural macroeconomic models, as is
