Adjusting Prices for Inflation and Creating Price Indices

INTRODUCTION Prices are a standard and important component of market and food security analysis because they serve as an indicator of both food availability and food access. Prices are a measure of availability because they tend to rise as the supply of food falls in relation to demand (e.g., poor production, constrained imports of food), and they tend to fall when supply expands in relation to...

Experimental values for adjusting an automatic control valve in gas pipeline transportation

When a natural gas pipeline ruptures, the adjacent automatic line control valves (ALCVs) should close quickly to prevent leakage or explosion. The differential pressure set point (DPS) at each valve location is the main criteria for value setting in ALCV action. If the DPS is not properly adjusted, the ALCV may mistakenly close or it may not take any action at proper time. This study focused on...

Access Regime Design and Required Rates of Return: Pitfalls in Adjusting for Inflation and Tax Effects

Some access pricing regimes derive allowable cash flows to provide investors with an expectation of receiving a required real pre – (company) tax rate of return, with compensation for inflation built in via the allowable return of capital (depreciation). The required real pre-tax return is derived from nominal (or real) post-tax required returns. Techniques commonly used to transform post tax i...
