Chapter 12 in Divisia Monetary Aggregates, 2000, pp 265-291 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One of the alternative methods for constructing monetary aggregates that has received much attention in the literature is the method proposed by Barnett (1980), which uses statistical index number theory. His approach makes use of aggregation theory to compute indices of financial assets that reflect the total utility, relative to some base period, attributable to the monetary services obtained from these assets.
