Monthly projector

Changes in constant price output are used as indicators of the growth rates in constant price value added. The movement in constant price output is assumed to be represented by the month-to-month growth rates in constant price shipments adjusted by the change in constant price inventories of goods in process (GIP) and finished products (FP).

Data

Current price shipments, inventory of goods in process and inventory of finished products, measured in thousands of dollars.

Deflation

Deflators for shipments are weighted averages of price indexes of Principal Commodity Groups (PCG) that are produced by the industry. Weights are PCG values, obtained from annual input-output tables.

The following PCGs account for the largest weights:
(the percentage represents the PCG's relative importance)

PCG 8017	synthetic detergents	32%
PCG 8018	washing, cleaning preparation	19%
PCG 8016	soap, toilet, laundry and dish	10%
PCG 4280	surface active agents	7%
PCG 8020	bleaches, fabric softeners	7%

Deflators of closing inventories of GIP and FP are moving averages of the deflator for shipments. Deflators of opening inventories are equal to deflators of closing inventories in the previous month.
