Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The producer price index (PPI) measures the rate at which the prices of producer goods and services are changing overtime. It is a key statistic for economic and business decision making and inflation monitoring. The Producer Price Index Manual: Theory and Practice provides clear, up-to-date guidance on the concepts, uses, methods, and economic theory of the PPI, including information on classifications, sources, compilation techniques, and analytical uses of the PPI. The Manual supersedes the previous international guidance on PPIs (available in the Manual on Producers’ Price Indices for Industrial Goods, published by the United Nations Statistics Division in 1979). The Manual's conceptual framework derives from the System of National Accounts1993 and recent developments in index number theory. Preparation of the Manual was undertaken by the Intersecretariat Working Group on Price Statistics through a technical expert group chaired by the IMF and involving representatives from the ILO, the OECD, the UN Economic Commission for Europe, the World Bank, national statistical offices, and academic institutions.

Download or read book Why Elementary Price Index Number Formulas Differ written by Mick Silver and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2006-07 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Consumer Price Index Manual (2004) provides guidelines for aggregation formulas that are promulgated at IMF training courses and technical assistance missions. This paper develops elementary level aggregation theory to better inform users and compilers. Most countries use either the Dutot or Jevons index formula. These formulas generally give different results; advice on choice of formula matters. Using an approach based on sample estimators, and an illustration based on scanner data, the paper shows how differences in these formulas can be explained by changes in price dispersion and, in turn, by product heterogeneity. Implications for choice of formula are considered.

Download or read book Consumer Price Indices in the UK written by Mark Courtney and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the British government started using the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) for some uprating purposes in 2011, there has been a proliferation of consumer price indices in the UK - nine at the last count with some claim to apply to the population at large. Leaving to one side their possible use as monetary policy indicators, this paper provides a review of the available consumer price indices and assesses their suitability as uprating indices, in the light of recent theoretical and empirical research.The main focus is on the CPI and the Retail Prices Index (RPI), since the other indices all derive from one or other of these two. The conclusion of the paper is that, taking account of both coverage and formula effect differences and within the limitations of how price data is collected within the UK, the RPI is as good a consumer price index as one can get for uprating purposes. The systemic differences between the RPI and the CPI are the result of under-estimation by the CPI.There are implications for other countries as well. The flurry of recent research in the UK has led to a consensus that the Economic Approach, which had been thought to provide at least weak support for the use of the Geometric Mean for elementary aggregation, in fact does not do so. There is, therefore, a need for a revision to the ILO's "Consumer Price Index Manual: Theory and Practice," and countries which have adopted the Geometric Mean for elementary aggregation on the basis that this is allowing for consumer price substitution should revisit their decisions.

Download or read book Handbook on Residential Property Prices RPPIs written by Statistical Office of the European Communities and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most citizens, buying a residential property (dwelling) is the most important transaction during their lifetime. Residential properties represent the most significant component of households’ expenses and, at the same time, their most valuable assets. The Residential Property Prices Indices (RPPIs) are index numbers measuring the rate at which the prices of residential properties are changing over time. RPPIs are key statistics not only for citizens and households across the world, but also for economic and monetary policy makers. Among their professional uses, they serve, for example, to monitor macroeconomic imbalances and risk exposure of the financial sector. This Handbook provides, for the first time, comprehensive guidelines for the compilation of RPPIs and explains in depth the methods and best practices used to calculate an RPPI. It also examines the underlying economic and statistical concepts and defines the principles guiding the methodological and practical choices for the compilation of the indices. The Handbook primarily addresses official statisticians in charge of producing residential property price indices; at the same time, it addresses the overall requirement on RPPIs by providing a harmonised methodological and practical framework to all parties interested in the compilation of such indices. The RPPIs Handbook has been written by leading academics in index number theory and by recognised experts in RPPIs compilation. Its development has been coordinated by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, with the collaboration of the International Labour Organization (ILO), International Monetary Fund (IMF), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the World Bank.
