A general theory of price and quantity aggregation and welfare measurement
Hillinger, Claude - 2002
The paper presents a general theory of the aggregation of prices and quantities that unifies the field and relates … topics that in the past have been treated separately and unsatisfactorily, or not at all. The theory does without the common … the theory lead to Törnqvist indexes defined on the appropriate data set. A numerical example confirms that in the non …

Trade restrictiveness indices in presence of externalities : an application to non-tariff measures
Beghin, John C.; Disdier, Anne-Célia; Marette, Stéphan - 2014
We extend the trade restrictiveness index approach to the case of market imperfections and domestic regulations addressing them. We focus on standard-like non-tariff measures (NTMs) affecting cost of production and potentially enhancing demand by reducing negative externalities. We apply the...

Lost in translation : what do Engel curves tell us about the cost of living?
Almås, Ingvild; Beatty, Timothy K.M.; Crossley, Thomas F. - 2018
The Hamilton method for estimating CPI bias is simple, intuitive, and has been widely adopted. We show that the method confiates CPI bias with variation in cost-of-living across income levels. Assuming a single price index across the income distribution is inconsistent with the downward sloping...

Vehicle currency pricing and exchange rate pass-through
Chen, Natalie; Chung, Wanyu; Novy, Dennis - 2019
Using detailed firm-level transactions data for UK imports, we find that invoicing in a vehicle currency is pervasive, with more than half of transactions in our sample invoiced in neither sterling nor the exporter's currency. We then study the relationship between invoicing currency choices and...

Effects of precipitation on food consumer price inflation
Moessner, Richhild - 2022
We study how precipitation has affected food consumer price inflation (CPI), using dynamic panel estimation of food CPI Phillips curves across countries for 34 OECD member and candidate economies from 1985 to 2010 augmented with climate variables. We allow for nonlinear effects of precipitation...

Reconsidering the price-income relationship across countries
Fujii, Eiji - 2013 - This version: February 2013
This study reconsiders the well-known cross-country positive association between prices and income by focusing on heterogeneity between the inter-developed-country and inter-developing-country relationships. Empirical results reveal not only that developed and developing countries differ in...

Micro-geographic property price and rent indices
Ahlfeldt, Gabriel M.; Heblich, Stephan; Seidel, Tobias - 2021
We develop a programming algorithm that predicts a balanced-panel mix-adjusted house price index for arbitrary spatial units from repeated cross-sections of geocoded micro data. The algorithm combines parametric and non-parametric estimation techniques to provide a tight local fit where the...

New characteristics and hedonic price index numbers
Crawford, Ian; Neary, J. Peter - 2019
Changes in product characteristics on the extensive margin are an important and hitherto neglected dimension of quality change. Standard techniques for quality-adjusting price indices cannot handle such changes satisfactorily, which leads to an economically and statistically significant bias in...
