6) For next week.
Proceedings:
Main topics today were (1) to point Lucy to the 11/3 notes and needs for further input on the statistical populations and arguments for GDP and PCE, also to further distinguish PPI with respect to coverage related to construction, and (2) individuals for the various common reference rates, and further work required on whether certain rates should be classes or individuals. Elisa will refine the class definition for the federal funds rate and send the revision to Pete so that he can model the corresponding individual for comparison purposes.
We also reviewed some aspects of the original Nordea model for trades to see what, in addition to the content we've already integrated into FBC, might be appropriate for further work / CFTC requirements, which we will continue once the 12/30 release is finalized.
Dan was traveling this week and will be unavailable next week (but there is no call due to OMG). Lucy will be unavailable on 12/15 and possibly 12/22 - but we can continue the work via email.
