The Price Index and its Extension
A Chapter in Economic Measurement
By Sydney N. Afriat
Published October 1st 2012 by Routledge – 456 pages
Description
The book is not an unrestricted survey engaging a vast and repetative literature, but a systematic treatise within clear boundaries, largely a document of Afriat's own work. The original motive of the work is to elaborate a concept of what really is a price index, which, despite some kind of price-level notion having a presence throughout economics, in theory and practice, had been missing.
