The characterization of the evolution over a past period (ex-post) of the prices for consumption goods and services acquired on the market implies the construction and the analysis of the specific chronological series. These series are built up for both absolute and relatives indicator, mainly...

A price index may be characterized as the factor giving the relative change in this value aggregate arising from changes in prices. As such, all the major price index formulae can be expressed as weighted averages of price relatives whose weights are the shares of items in the value aggregate....

In the authors meaning, this work submits the merits of utilizing the chain based system for building up the price indices within the time series comparatively with the utilization of the fix base system. Meantime, the authors are emphasizing the different properties, axioms or tests, which...

The main reason why price statisticians might prefer a member of the family of Lowe or fixed basket price indices is that the fixed basket concept is easy to explain to the public. Note that the Laspeyres and Paasche indices are special cases of the pure price concept if we choose the reference...

This paper describes the characteristics of the Laspeyres and Paasche indices, as there are increasing requirements for the analysis of prices, quantities and basekt vectors. Both Laspeyres and Paasche are valuable choice for financial and economic analyses.

This paper describes the evolution of various de-flation indicators used as instruments to favor the appreciation of national accounts in constand prices, but also important in revealing the correlation with the price index. The authors focused on the analysis of the main landmarks in the...

The index number problem can be framed as the problem of decomposing the value of a well-defined set of transactions in a period of time into an aggregate price term times an aggregate quantity term. It turns out that this approach to the index number problem does not lead to any useful...
