The aggregate and 2-digit data used in Burnside, Eichenbaum and Rebelo (1995) "Capital Utilization and Returns to Scale" are contained in the file ma95ber.xls. The 3-digit data used in that paper are in the file 3digit.xls. The 2-digit wage and electricity data were deseasonalized using a frequency domain technique described in the RATS 4.2 manual. Suppose I had a quarterly series w, from 72:1 to 92:4 in the text file w.txt. I could deseasonalize its growth rate as follows, and write it to the file wdeseas.txt. cal 72 1 4 allocate 92:4 * open data w.txt data(org=obs) / w close data log w difference w linreg w 72:2 92:4 detrend # constant prj removed * frequency 2 204 rtoc 72:2 92:4 # detrend # 1 fft 1 cmask 2 / (204/4) 9 cmult 1 2 ift 1 ctor 72:2 92:4 # 1 # deseason * set deseason = deseason+removed graph 2 # deseason 72:2 92:4 # w 72:2 92:4 open copy wdeseas.txt copy(format=free,org=obs) 72:2 92:4 deseason close copy end The 3-digit data were obtained in NSA form from the Federal Reserve Board, and were deseasonalized using the X11 filter program that is a companion to RATS.
