Quality Adjusted Unit Value and Fisher Price IndicesReferencesIndex number theory informs us that if data on matched prices and quantities are available, a superlative index number formula is best to aggregate heterogeneous items, and a unit value index to aggregate homogeneous ones. The formulas can give very different results. Neglected is the practical case of broadly comparable items. This paper provides a formal analysis as to why such formulas differ and proposes a solution to this index number problem.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/019Index numbers (Economics)Economic indicatorsDeflationimfExport price indexesimfIndex Numbers and AggregationimfInflationimfInformation and Product QualityimfLeading indicatorsimfMacroeconomicsimfMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Microeconomic DataimfPrice indexesimfPrice LevelimfProduction, Pricing, and Market StructureimfSize Distribution of FirmsimfStandardization and CompatibilityimfIndex numbers (Economics)Economic indicators.DeflationExport price indexesIndex Numbers and AggregationInflationInformation and Product QualityLeading indicatorsMacroeconomicsMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Microeconomic DataPrice indexesPrice LevelProduction, Pricing, and Market StructureSize Distribution of FirmsStandardization and Compatibility338.50946Silver Mick1449453DcWaIMFBOOK9910973787203321An Index Number Formula Problem4372542UNINA
