Sources:
⎯ Census Department, Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Data:
⎯ U.S., 1992-2006, monthly.
⎯ 50 manufacturing industries: Sales, inventory.
• In a subset of 23 manufacturing industries: Demand.
⎯ 16 wholesale industries: Sales, inventory.
⎯ 6 retail industries: Sales, inventory.
Data manipulations:
1) Adjust Demand and Sales series for margins and price.
2) Adjust Inventory series for price.
3) For each industry evaluate a Production series: Yt = St + ∆ It
4) Log and first difference the Production, Demand and Sales series.

To what extent does the bullwhip effect exist in U.S. industry level
data?
⎯ Are amplification ratios greater than 1?
⎯ Do manufacturers experience the highest demand variability and
retailers the lowest?
