Price change affects the way we perceive changes in such basic measures as real output, productivity, and living standards. This volume, which brings together academic economists with those responsible for official price indexes, presents outstanding new research on price measurement. Half of the papers focus on prices for mainframe and personal computers, semiconductors, and other high-tech products, using mainly hedonic techniques. The volume includes a panel discussion by distinguished economists about the theoretical and practical considerations of how best to measure price change of capital goods whose quality is changing rapidly. The authors also present new research on more conventional but still unsettled problems in the price field affecting both the consumer and producer price indexes of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 410 0$aStudies in income and wealth ;$vv. 57. 606 $aComputers$xPrices$vCongresses 606 $aConsumer price indexes$vCongresses 606 $aPrice indexes$vCongresses 606 $aSemiconductors$xPrices$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aComputers$xPrices 615 0$aConsumer price indexes 615 0$aPrice indexes 615 0$aSemiconductors$xPrices 676 $a338.5/28 701 $aFoss$b Murray F$0869355 701 $aManser$b Marilyn$0145549 701 $aYoung$b A.
