Sommario/riassunto

The book surveys modern literature on financial aggregation and index number theory, with special emphasis on the contributions of the book's two coauthors. In addition to a systematic survey chapter unifying the rest of the book, this publication contains reprints of published articles that are central to the survey chapter. ""Financial Aggregation and Index Number Theory"" provides a reference work for financial data researchers and users of central bank data, placing



emphasis on possible improvements in such data from use of the microeconomic index number and aggregation theory.
