J. Craig

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1969, vol. 18, issue 2, 141-152

Abstract: Some of the traditional exposition of index numbers is examined and found wanting. The basic vocabulary, beliefs about the validity of base switching and comments on chained and linked indices are criticized. An alternative approach is suggested.
