The Price Index and Its Extension: A Chapter in Economic Measurement

Передня обкладинка
Psychology Press, 2005 - 421 стор.
The book is not an unrestricted survey engaging a vast and repetative literature, but a systematic treatise within clear boundaries, largely a document of Afriat's own work. The original motive of the work is to elaborate a concept of what really is a price index, which, despite some kind of price-level notion having a presence throughout economics, in theory and practice, had been missing.
