This newfound interest in price indices stems from the fact that all such indices are designed to serve as yardsticks for measuring the price behavior of goods and services. That is, all price indices relate to the concept of the 'purchasing power of money'. If prices increase, then the value of the unit of money declines, i. e.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a 1993 paper, Marshall Reinsdorf finds that the CPI components for food and gas were biased upward by about 2% and 1% per year respectively during the 1980s. He attributes this result to outlet substitution bias. The more recent paper by Reinsdorf and Moulton [1994] presents an alternative explanation for Reinsdorf's earlier results: when the BLS moved to probability sampling of prices in 1978, the micro price quotations were aggregated together using an index number formula that generates an upward bias. This paper further explores the central theoretical issue raised by the Reinsdorf-Moulton paper: the choice of an index number formula to aggregate prices at the finest level of disaggregation. This issue is examined from both axiomatic and economic perspectives. This paper also reviews the empirical literature on alternative elementary price indexes, and the recent literature on sources of bias in consumer price indexes. The findings of this paper in conjunction with the empirical work of Reinsdorf and Moulton yield a number of recommendations for Statistical Agencies which are outlined in the final section.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook integrates mathematical index theory and its application in official price statistics. It tries to bridge theory and practice, due to the apparent divergence between mathematicians with ever more sophisticated and complex models and practitioners with problems that are more and more difficult to understand without broad knowledge and some experience. The text offers an introduction into axiomatic, microeconomic and stochastic reasoning as regards index numbers, with moderately difficult mathematics. It also summarizes many ongoing discussions concerning methodological merits and demerits of specific indices, such as consumer price-, producer price-, unit value- and chain indices, in official price statistics. The book is comprehensive and presents a readable overview of a great number of topics in modern price index theory and their application in inflation measurement, deflation of aggregates in National Accounts, sampling and quality adjustment in price collection and other important though controversial issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper develops a new axiomatic approach to bilateral index number theory that treats the prices and expenditure shares on N commodities for two periods as the independent variables in the index number formula instead of the traditional approach, which treats the two price vectors and the two quantity vectors as the independent variables. The approach was suggested over a century ago by Walsh (1901). A new axiomatic characterization of the Törnqvist (1936) Theil (1967) price index is obtained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Vogt has devoted a great deal of his scientific efforts to both person and work of Irving Fisher. This book, written with Jànos Barta, gives an excellent impression of Fisher's great contributions to the theory of the price index on the one hand. On the other hand, it continues Fisher's work on this subject along the lines which several authors drew with respect to price index theory since Fisher's death fifty years ago. "This is a highly instructive book on both the history and theory of measurement in economics. It is rather a rich source of interesting properties of more or less well known indices and famous men, especially Irving Fisher, than a precise mathematical text on the axiomatic foundations of indices."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although inflation is much feared for its negative effects on the economy, how to measure it is a matter of considerable debate that has important implications for interest rates, monetary supply, and investment and spending decisions. Underlying many of these issues is the concept of the Cost-of-Living Index (COLI) and its controversial role as the methodological foundation for the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Price Index Concepts and Measurements brings together leading experts to address the many questions involved in conceptualizing and measuring inflation. They evaluate the accuracy of COLI, a Cost-of-Goods Index, and a variety of other methodological frameworks as the bases for consumer price construction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about economic theory. It is not, however, a simplified version of mainstream economics; mainstream economics is simpleminded enough already. It is certainly not in the "how to be a salesman" genre, nor does it propose to tell the reader how to make money in the framework of current financial institutions. It is an abstract treatise. The purpose of this book is to give an axiomatic foundation for the theory of economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper considers the problem of choosing a multilateral system of index numbers in order to make aggregate price and quantity comparisons between many countries and regions. The problems involved in choosing functional forms in order to make these comparisons are both theoretically and empirically more difficult than the problems involved in choosing a bilateral index number formula. The great variation in relative prices and quantities in the international context means that the choice of a multilateral method is empirically important: different methods will give very different answers. The paper reviews ten classes of multilateral methods both from the viewpoint of the axiomatic approach as well as the economic approach. A new system of 11 desirable axioms or properties for multilateral systems is suggested. With respect to the economic approach, the concept of a superlative bilateral index number formula (which can adequately model substitution effects) is adapted to the multilateral context. Each of the 10 classes of multilateral methods is evaluated from the axiomatic and economic perspectives. Four classes of methods are identified as being `best' They are all superlative and satisfy slightly different sets of axioms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the nineteenth century, a large number of price index number formulae have been developed, mostly named after their inventors, such as the Paasche and Layspeyres indexes. Parallel with the invention of new index formulae, criteria were developed for distinguishing between them. These parallel developments culminated in Irving Fisher's two classics on index numbers, The Purchasing Power of Money (1911) and The Making of Index Numbers (1922). In these, Fisher evaluated index formulae in a systematic way with respect to a number of “tests.” Although these two volumes are considered the “Old and New Testament” of Axiomatic Index Theory, the axiomatic approach originated from challenges to Fisher's system of tests on grounds of their inconsistency and the seeming arbitrariness of the choice of tests. That debate started with Ragnar Frisch in 1930, but the Axiomatic Index Theory only got its current name and shape - based on functional equation analysis - from Wolfgang Eichhorn in 1973. In Axiomatic Index Theory, the tests are considered as requirements on the functional form of the index number from which the index formula can be derived. If these requirements are inconsistent, no formula can be constructed. So although Fisher's work is seen as the forerunner of the Axiomatic Index Theory, his system of tests was much criticized because of its apparent internal inconsistency. The aim of this essay is to show that evaluating Fisher's work from an axiomatic perspective leads to a misconception of his empirically inclined approach to the assessment of index numbers. For a better understanding of his work on index numbers, his background in mathematics, his philosophical thinking, and his inventions of measuring instruments will all be examined.
