Index numbers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In economics, index numbers are time series summarising movements in a group of related variables. The best-known is the consumer price index which measures changes in retail prices paid by consumers.
There is a substantial body of economic analysis concerning the construction of index numbers, desirable properties of index numbers and the relationship between index numbers and economic theory.
