Methods and Problems in Measuring Price Level Changes,

Abstract

This paper addresses a topic which is very familiar to cost analysts -- the importance of a price index in normalizing cost data for price level changes. The issues at hand however, are not the necessary application of a price index, but rather, (1) the methods used in developing a historical index and (2) distortions which may result by applying one index as opposed to another.
