Compatible Trends for ACS Data
Compatible Trends for ACS Data
Conclusion
- The time-lag effect of using a rolling sample can be countered through proper filter design.
- Validity requires compatibility, i.e., rolling sample is well-approximated by a temporal average.
- Use caution with comparisons that cross county and MYE-type. We recommend making comparisons only between trend-filtered estimates.
- Extensions to turning-point filters and forecast filters are available.
