The eleven essays in this volume include historical treatments of new goods and their diffusion; practical exercises in measurement addressed to recent and ongoing innovations; and real-world methods of devising quantitative adjustments for quality change. The lead article in Part I contains a striking analysis of the history of light over two millennia. Other essays in Part I develop new price indexes for automobiles back to 1906; trace the role of the air conditioner in the development of the American south; and treat the germ theory of disease as an economic innovation. In Part II essays measure the economic impact of more recent innovations, including anti-ulcer drugs, new breakfast cereals, and computers. Part III explores methods and defects in the treatment of quality change in the official price data of the United States, Canada, and Japan. This pathbreaking volume will interest anyone who studies economic growth, productivity, and the American standard of living. 410 0$aStudies in income and wealth ;$vv. 58. 606 $aConsumer price indexes$vCongresses 606 $aNew products$vCongresses 615 0$aConsumer price indexes 615 0$aNew products 676 $a330 s 676 $a330 s 338.85/28 676 $a330 s338.8528 676 $a338.47 676 $a338.8528 701 $aBresnahan$b Timothy F$0305066 701 $aGordon$b Robert J$g(Robert James),$f1940-$047286 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954257203321 996 $aThe economics of new goods$94351726 997 $aUNINA
