Abstract

We investigate some issues of macro-economic statistics in Japan including the housing investment, the private non-residential investment and the quarterly (preliminary) GDP estimates. We illustrate the problems associated with the seasonality and structural break in recent Japanese macro-economy. We use the statistical smoothing method and DECOMP (developed by Kitagawa and Sato at ISM) and discuss the possible problems with the use of X-12-ARIMA program by the statistical offices in the Japanese central government. We propose several ways to improve the quality of macro-economic statistics in Japan.
