Several data objects are loaded, as listed in the table
''New Variable definitions''. The
CanadianMoneyData
usage loads the most recent version and
other usages loads data as of the given date.
These data are the components of the Canadian Monetary aggregates.
They have been "continuity adjusted" so that take-overs and mergers do
not result in breaks in the series. This involves re-arranging
historical data so that it reflects the current structure of the
industry. Trust company deposits are not included in some Canadian
monetary aggregates so, if a bank takes over a trust company, the
historical data for the trust company must be added to the bank's
historical data to eliminate a break in the series. The series start
at various dates but continuity adjustments prior to 1981 are not
complete. More details about the adjustment are provided
in Kottaras (2003). The originally released data is usually very accurate because of
bank reporting requirements. Beware that continuity adjustments
described above are the main reason for revisions to the data. For this
reason the "as of" data may not be especially useful for some kinds of
data revision studies.
In January 2007 the aggregates M1 gross and M1 total (sometimes called M1 net)
were discontinued, and M2, M2+, M2++, and M3 were modified to "gross" versions.
The earlier CanadianMoneyData sets contain these series, but more recent ones
do not. Components as of January 2007 are as shown in
table ''New Variable definitions''.

CUadj changes an estimate of NonbankNonCheq/NonbankTerm split prior

Previously the components were defined using the B-number designations. The
