Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of index numbers, a crucial tool for measuring economic phenomena like inflation, cost of living, and wage fluctuations. While seemingly straightforward, the construction of index numbers involves intricate choices and methodologies, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Through meticulous analysis and calculations based on historical data, the author unveils the surprising inaccuracies of some commonly used formulas, while highlighting others with remarkable precision. This exploration clarifies the essential attributes of reliable index numbers and provides practical guidance for their efficient calculation. By demystifying the "fairness" of index numbers and exposing the hidden biases within different approaches, this book equips readers with the knowledge to critically evaluate these powerful economic indicators. Ultimately, it demonstrates how the careful construction and application of index numbers can replace guesswork with scientific measurement, paving the way for a deeper understanding of our economic world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

This third edition is an exact reprint of the second edition, except for Appendix IX, beginning on page 521, which records and discusses the literature appearing since the first edition. Thus he provides methods of measuring fluctuations in real wages, in rates, in trade, and in the purchasing power of money. He states that, once a good method of constructing index numbers has been accepted, the use of the instrument will be extended to fields where precise measurement is needed. In this book, the author tests not only all formulae for index numbers that have been used, but all that reasonably could be used, and he tests them by extensive and painstaking calculations, based on actual statistics. He proves that several methods of constructing index numbers which were in common use when the first edition of this book was published are grossly inaccurate; he explains why some formulas are precise and others far from it; he points out how to save time in calculation; and he shows how to test results. Irving Fisher (February 27, 1867 - April 29, 1947) was an American economist, statistician, inventor, and progressive social campaigner. He was one of the earliest American neoclassical economists, though his later work on debt deflation has been embraced by the post-Keynesian school. Joseph Schumpeter described him as "the greatest economist the United States has ever produced", an assessment later repeated by James Tobin and Milton Friedman. Fisher made important contributions to utility theory and general equilibrium. He was also a pioneer in the rigorous study of intertemporal choice in markets, which led him to develop a theory of capital and interest rates. His research on the quantity theory of money inaugurated the school of macroeconomic thought known as "monetarism". Fisher was also a pioneer of econometrics, including the development of index numbers. Some concepts named after him include the Fisher equation, the Fisher hypothesis, the international Fisher effect, the Fisher separation theorem and Fisher market. Fisher's reputation has increased in academic economics, particularly after his theoretical models were rediscovered in the late 1960s to the 1970s, a period of increasing reliance on mathematical models within the field. Interest in him has also grown in the public due to an increased interest in debt deflation after the late-2000s recession. Fisher was one of the foremost proponents of the full-reserve banking, which he advocated as one of the authors of A Program for Monetary Reform where the general proposal is outlined.
