Economic Measurement and Fundamental Theory

V. Maevsky

Voprosy Ekonomiki, 2005, issue 10

Abstract: The article discusses one of the fundamental problems of economic science - the problem of measuring dynamics of inflation and real product. It is argued that the conventional approach according to which inflation can be measured with so called general price index is theoretically unsound because it contradicts the essence of money as the universal measure of value of commodities and services. Inflation as a money phenomenon must be measured not with general but with particular price index, which determines movement of prices in the group of commodities and services, the needs in which have reached the level of saturation. This result is especially topical under acceleration of the quality change growth in the economy.
