Abstract

This note gives a brief description of the coverage and the results of the revised CII-ESRI Monthly Industrial Survey. As discussed in the previous article, by Conniffe, in this Commentary, up to the present the Survey could be improved on two grounds in particular, namely on the sample and on seasonality. The problem of seasonality can be partially dealt with by seasonally correcting the results along the lines suggested by Conniffe. The sample meanwhile has been enlarged and the weights used to aggregate the responses have been updated. The computer program used for the analysis has also been changed. Though not affecting the results, this affords greater flexibility in drafting the tables of responses.
