Interpreting Economic Data Over Different Time Horizons
An economic analyst is preparing two reports. The first report details the sources of economic growth in the most recent fiscal quarter. The second report analyzes the average rate of economic growth over the past decade. How would the treatment of the 'change in private inventories' statistic most likely differ between these two reports?
