Wage Indexation: The Treatment of Public Sector Taxes and Goods

P. J. Lloyd

The Economic Record, 1978, vol. 54, issue 2, 182-194

Abstract: This paper considers the problem of constructing an index, in the presence of a large public sector, which will tell us whether any adjustment to wages or other payments to households in one situation will leave the households better or worse off than in some previous situation with a different set of prices. This index is an extension of the true price index. The paper also proposes an index of the affordable wages with which the first index should be compared.
