متن کاملA Comparison of the Portuguese and Bulgarian Consumer Price Indices
This paper compares the Portuguese and Bulgarian consumer price indices (CPI) and attempts to identify some areas in which the CPI compilation methodology could be improved in the two countries. This work is organised into six sections. The first section briefly describes the organisational structure on which the production of the CPI is based in the two countries. The second section focuses on...
متن کاملEstimating Price Elasticities with Non-Linear Errors in Variables∗
This paper estimates a price elasticity using a flexible demand specification on survey data where prices are observed with error are correlated with household characteristics. The demand function is modeled as being a polynomial (and more generally also including trigonometric terms) in the unobserved true prices and the form of the dependency between the observed (mismeasured) prices and hous...
