Comment on the informative value of growth rates

  • Georg Goldrian

Abstract

Recently the Federal Statistical Office released the growth rate of real GDP for the first quarter of 2005, in which seasonally adjusted GDP grew by 1% over the previous quarter. Experts were surprised by the amount of growth. A closer look, however, shows that as a result of season adjustment the informative value of the growth rate is weakened.
