Title:: Part III. Correlated series for all Member Banks by districts

Collection:: Economics Books

VIII INTRODUCTION THE discussion in Part II was concerned primarily with tracing out norms and trends in the individual series of data relating to member banks in the different Federal Reserve districts, three bases of comparison for the most part being used. These were as follows: first, the nature and the percentage amounts by which the respective ratios for member banks in the several districts differed from their own seven-year average levels; sec- ond, the directions and the percentage amounts of change in the ratios from year to year; and third, the nature and per- centage amounts by which the ratios in the respective districts each year deviated from the average ratio for the country as a whole. These three sets of comparisons were made for each of the types of data available, the norms and trends being determined by summarizing in various ways the experiences in the different districts, by observing the uniformities. and by generalizing as to their preponderance. In Part III the purpose of the discussion is different, although the method of attack and the bases of comparison are much the same as those just described. Interest now is not in the discovery of norms and the measurement of trends in individual series of data, compounded out of the experience of the banks in the several districts year by year; it is rather in observing and measuring the interrelations of norms and trends in fwo or more series at the same time. Previous analysis has shown that while variations characterize the ratios in the individual series, they are not generally of the random sort. Are there also uniformities and tendencies com- mon to the paired variations and changes in different series? Moreover, in what way and to what degree are the series re- lated? Specifically, such queries as the following arise: In what manner are variable ratios of gross earnings, of operating expense, and of net earnings associated with variable ratios of " 12
