Eric Blankmeyer

Applied Economics Letters, 2013, vol. 20, issue 5, 462-465

Abstract: Theil (1960) estimates price and quantity indexes jointly by orthogonal regression. This letter shows how to bootstrap Theil's indexes and how to detect outliers. Aggregation issues are discussed, and the methodology is applied to a cross section of nursing facilities.
