Romanian Statistical Review, 2013, vol. 61, issue 7, 74-82

Abstract: Using the simple method of index numbers, and synthesizing the originality of his excellent statistical thinking by definition, this article identifies and presents an inimitable shortcut from Index – Numbers’ method to elasticity method. A final remark underlines the beauty and the rigour of this scientific demarche specific for the statistical thinking. This paper is a real homage addressed to Professor M. C. Demetrescu, and to his remarkable PhD thesis, printed approximately half a century ago, one of the best statistic and economic book about population demand.
