This paper describes a new, industry-adjusted index of state environmental compliance costs from 1977 to 1994. The … index has two principal advantages: it controls for states' industrial compositions, and it can be calculated for 17 years … and 1994. Third, this cost index is negatively correlated with subjective indices of state environmental efforts compiled …

In this paper we employ index number theory in addressing the problem of adjusting real national income and real … domestic product for changes in a country's terms of trade.

We show theoretically and empirically that flows into index funds raise the prices of large stocks in the index … disproportionately more than the prices of small stocks. Conversely, flows predict a high future return of the small-minus-large index … portfolio. This finding runs counter to the CAPM, and arises when noise traders distort prices, biasing index weights.

Since the matched model index does not incorporate price changes for goods which exit, and the goods that exited tend … to be those goods whose prices fall, the matched model index has a selection problem which biases it upwards. The hedonic … index does not have this problem. We illustrate with a new study of price indices for PC's. The hedonic index shows steep …
