Of Economics and Statistics: the "Gerschenkron Effect"

Stefano Fenoaltea ()

No 406, Carlo Alberto Notebooks from Collegio Carlo Alberto

Abstract: The "Gerschenkron effect" refers to the purported biases of early-weighted and late-weighted indices of production. If production is properly measured in what economists mean by "real" terms, the "Gerschenkron effect" does not exist at all.
