Formula for a simple
price index
Price index = pn/p0 x 100
where pn = price in year n
po = price in base year
A price index of 117 would indicate
an increase of 17% relative to the
base year.
A price index of 75 would indicate a
decrease of 25% relative to the
base year.

Other index numbers
Retail Price Index RPI
FT Ordinary Share Index
Dow Jones Index
Basic wage rates index
Retail sales index
These are weighted averages for
many different items.

4
Weighted aggregate indices
Items in the average index are weighted
according to importance
Quantities may be used as weights
Index uses Price x Quantity (i.e. total cost
or expenditure)

Base-weighted index – use base year
quantities (Laspeyres)
Current-weighted index – use current
year quantities (Paasche)

Retail Price Index
The RPI is used as a measure of inflation
It is a weighted average of a ‘basket of
goods’ (around 350 items), updated
regularly using the Family Expenditure
Survey.
The RPI can be used for index-linking.
It can be used to deflate a series of
values. This allows for inflation and
looks at the underlying trend.

Deflating a series
Example:
Current year price deflated to 1992 prices

= Current year value x 1992 RPI__
current RPI

Comparison of indices
Indices give similar results if proportion
of quantities for each item remain similar
in both years.

Base-weighted (Laspeyres’ index) is most
commonly used, e.g. RPI.

Essential Quantitative Methods 2nd edn © Les Oakshott 2001 Palgra
14
Advantages of Laspeyres’
Quantities in current year not required
Denominator is constant year to year
Indices can be compared year to year as well
as to the base year
Disadvantages of Laspeyres’
Weights can quickly become out of date if
quantities change

  • 2. Formula for a simple price index Price index = pn/p0 x 100 where pn = price in year n po = price in base year A price index of 117 would indicate an increase of 17% relative to the base year. A price index of 75 would indicate a decrease of 25% relative to the base year. Essential Quantitative Methods 2nd edn © Les Oakshott 2001 Palgra 2

  • 5. Weighted aggregate indices Items in the average index are weighted according to importance Quantities may be used as weights Index uses Price x Quantity (i.e. total cost or expenditure) Base-weighted index – use base year quantities (Laspeyres) Current-weighted index – use current year quantities (Paasche) Essential Quantitative Methods 2nd edn © Les Oakshott 2001 Palgra 5

  • 10. Retail Price Index The RPI is used as a measure of inflation It is a weighted average of a ‘basket of goods’ (around 350 items), updated regularly using the Family Expenditure Survey. The RPI can be used for index-linking. It can be used to deflate a series of values. This allows for inflation and looks at the underlying trend. Essential Quantitative Methods 2nd edn © Les Oakshott 2001 Palgra 10

  • 14. Comparison of indices Indices give similar results if proportion of quantities for each item remain similar in both years. Base-weighted (Laspeyres’ index) is most commonly used, e.g. RPI. Essential Quantitative Methods 2nd edn © Les Oakshott 2001 Palgra 14
  • 15. Advantages of Laspeyres’ Quantities in current year not required Denominator is constant year to year Indices can be compared year to year as well as to the base year Disadvantages of Laspeyres’ Weights can quickly become out of date if quantities change Essential Quantitative Methods 2nd edn © Les Oakshott 2001 Palgra 15
