39
Q

Consumer Price Index (CPI)

A

Relates price of basket of goods and services during period to one in base period;

CPI-U most common - Consumer price index for all urban consumers (U)

Based period for 36 month period 1982 through 1984 - Base period == 100%

EX 1982-84 Base = 100%; 2012 = 229.6, 2013 = 233%

40
Q

Inflation/Deflation

A

Rate of change in CPI-U measures; EX - 2013 = 233, 2012 = 229.6

2013 to 2013 change = 3.4 (change in CPI) not the rate of change; rate of change = 3.4/229.6 (original value) - 1.48% = 2013 rate of inflation

41
Q

Wholesale Price Index (WPI)

A

Measure of deflation/inflation @ wholesale level

42
Q

GDP Deflator

A

Relates nominal GDP to Real GDP; Attempts to include all spending in GDP - more comprehensive than CPI-U or WPI

“Basket” changes more frequently

GDP Deflator = nominal/real x 100

43
Q

Inflation

A

Rate of increase in price level

44
Q

Deflation

A
