Price and Productivity Measurement : Volume 2 - Seasonality

Bok av Bert M Balk W Erwin Diewert
This is the second in a sequence of volumes about the official statistics measures of inflation and productivity for nations. The volume focus is seasonality. The usual assumption in the index number literature is that the periods are entire years. In actual applications, imputation or deletion of seasonal products is common. The papers in this volume demonstrate better ways of handling seasonal products in price indexes.
