Source discrepancies

What the warehouse found when it checked this series: the same figure from two agencies, splice overlaps, published rates against ones recalculated from the index, and outliers.

  • Two vintages1999

    This series reads −252.3; the same figure from the other source reads −263.2. Compared with LK.EXT.LONG_RUN.BOP_OVERALL_BALANCE.A.

    Two agencies: −252.3 and −263.2, difference 10.9.

    LONG_RUN's magnitude is larger here, the same direction as the other 3 flagged years, consistent with EXT.BOP reflecting a later revision the frozen splice does not carry.

  • Two vintages2001

    This series reads 188.6; the same figure from the other source reads 219.8. Compared with LK.EXT.LONG_RUN.BOP_OVERALL_BALANCE.A.

    Two agencies: 188.6 and 219.8, difference −31.2.

    AER Special Appendix Table 4 vs held live EXT.BOP: 219.8 vs 188.6 - same one-directional (LONG_RUN larger in magnitude) pattern as the other 3 flagged years.
