Abstract
Abstract. Many economic time series are affected by the moving dates of festivals. In this paper a moving festival effect is defined and incorporated into a dynamic linear model which specifies how the parameters of several unobservable components of a time series evolve stochastically in time. The merits of this approach in comparison to other approaches are discussed and demonstrated using empirical data of three selected time series.
