 Dale Jorgenson's Collected Works
Aggregate time series and individual cross section data have been combined by Stone (1954b) and Wold (1953) in models of aggregate demand based on the model of a representative consumer.
Aggregate demand functions depend on statistics of the joint distribution of individual expenditures and attributes; the only admissible statistics are additive in functions of individual expenditures and attributes.
Aggregate energy expenditure and expenditure for each demographic group are determined in the first stage of the two-stage allocation process.

 Help-Wanted Advertising and Job Vacancies (2005-02, 1/21/2005)
After adjustment, the help-wanted series confirms the JOLTS series' indication of a recent uptick in labor demand for the nation as a whole and several broad regions, although the increase is not yet sufficiently sustained or pronounced to indicate that a broad employment recovery has fully taken hold.
The regional help-wanted series in general display a cyclical pattern that is similar to the nation's, with each exhibiting sharp declines prior to the onset of recessions.
Although the regional series generally move together, a notable exception is the decline in help-wanted advertising in the Northeast region beginning in early 1988, well ahead of the decline in other regions heading into the recession of 1990-1991.

 'Aggregate and the Environment'
Written by William H. Langer, Lawrence J. Drew and Janet S. Sachs, all with the U.S. Geological Survey, Aggregate and the Environment is part of the AGI Environmental Awareness Series and was produced in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey.
Aggregate is used in the production of practically everything we touch during a day; toothpaste, glass, paper, chewing gum, even antacids and other pharmaceuticals.
Aggregate and the Environment provides detailed explanations of the procedures used to manage and minimize environmental impacts of aggregate mining, processing, and transportation.

For the small coastal shark aggregate, the mean catch rate for positive catches was explained by the year and season factors, but the area factor was eliminated from the final model because it did not meet the criterion of at least 1% reduction in deviance per degree of freedom (Table 19).
For the small coastal shark aggregate, the trend of the relative standardized catch rates was substantially different from that of the nominal values during the early part of the time series, and from 1978 to 1983 the nominal values did not fall within the 95% CL of the standardized values (Figure 14).
For the small coastal aggregate and Atlantic sharpnose, the posterior for the virgin biomass, B0, ended abruptly near the right tail of the distribution (Figures 25 and 27, respectively), whereas the posteriors for bonnethead, flnose, and finetooth were more normal (Figures 29, 31, and 33), although skewed to the right, especially for the finetooth shark.

 Money, credit & financial statistics
A new quarterly aggregate NBFI SSR in the same format as for registered banks (but lesser data coverage) and with data from December 2004, includes the two NBFIs that contribute to the money and credit aggregates (ie, that are `M3 institutions') along with approximately 40 others.
An important element of the private sector credit series is the fact that it has been compiled so that it represents around 95% of all private sector credit revealed in annual census surveys conducted by the Bank (partly for the purpose of monitoring this coverage).
The objective of these aggregate series has been to provide information on money and credit on a more timely basis than was possible with the core monthly series, and for analytical purposes with data at a higher frequency than monthly.

The degree of persistence in the series is lower and, hence, further away from the degree of persistence shown in the actual series.
The series with a constant interest rate (Chart 5) has a greater dampening effect on volatility, although the value of V is still four times that of the actual investment series.
It is interesting to note that the coefficient of variation of the series for the share of gross operating surplus in GDP for Australia for the period 1959-60 to 1993-94 is 0.09, which is very close to 0.085, the coefficient of variation of the actual investment series.

CLI is an aggregate time series displaying a reasonably consistent leading relationship with the reference series for the macroeconomic cycle in a country.
The trend is eliminated from the series by dividing the original series by the trend to give a ratio-to-trend since the underlying structure of most series used is multiplicative.
In time series analysis, a given time series can be decomposed into: - A cyclical component, - A trend component, - A seasonal component, - An irregular component, The method of trend estimation adopted by the OECD is a modified version of the phase-average trend (PAT) method developed by the United States NBER.

 Aggregate production functions and the measurement of infrastructure productivity: A reassessment Eastern Economic ...
In a survey of the literature Munnell concluded: "In my view, the implied impact of public infrastructure investment on private sector output emerging from the aggregate time series studies is too large to be credible" [1992, 1911.
Critics suggest that the high elasticities are the result of problematic econometrics; that is, the estimated parameter of infrastructure is biased upward because the regressions have not taken into account the possibility of unit roots in time-series estimations; or the possible endogeneity of the regressors [Aaron, 1990; Berndt and Hansson, 1992; Gramlich, 1994].
Ford and Poret, using data for eleven OECD countries, concluded: "...time series regressions tend to yield non-robust and sometimes implausible parameter estimates, suggesting a fundamental problem with the underlying methodology" [1991, 65; italics added].

Hence, both the fiscal and the monetary authorities have developed aggregate forecasting models, along the lines previously adopted for the analysis of single countries.
A similar approach will be likely followed in empirical analyses on, e.g., the existence of an aggregate Taylor rule or the evaluation of the aggregate impact of monetary policy shocks, where linear specifications are usually adopted.
But the method of construction of the aggregate series, which often involves time-varying weights, and the presence of common shocks across the countries, such as the deflation in the early 1980s and the convergence process in the early 1990s, can introduce substantial non-linearity into the generating process of the aggregate series.

 SSRN-Measuring the Cyclicality of Real Wages: How Important is Composition Bias by Gary Solon, Robert Barsky, Jonathan ...
In accordance with a conjecture by Stockman (1983), we show that the true procyclicality of real wages is obscured in aggregate time series because of a composition bias: the aggregate statistics are constructed in a way that gives more weight to low-skill workers during the expansions than during recessions.
We conclude that, because real wages actually are much more procyclical than the appear in aggregate statistics, theories designed to explain the supposed weakness of real wage cyclicality may be unnecessary, and theories that predict substantially procyclical real wages become more credible.
