VOLUME CHAIN-LINKED DATA: This chain-linking procedure makes it possible to convert the volume data of annual national accounts, calculated at previous-year prices, into a chain-linked series in a given year, chosen as basis (2000), allowing for the direct calculation of rates of change. This calculation is made on an annual basis, generating chain-linked series, to which the usual methodology of the Portuguese quarterly national accounts is applied, as regards the breakdown of time series, thereby generating quarterly series that are also chain-linked.
