虽然人们担心通货膨胀会对经济产生负面影响，但如何衡量通货膨胀是一个相当大的争论问题，对利率、货币供应、投资和支出决策都有重要影响。其中许多问题的基础是生活费用指数的概念及其作为消费物价指数方法基础的有争议的作用。价格指数概念和测量汇集了领先的专家，以解决概念化和测量通货膨胀所涉及的许多问题。他们评估COLI的准确性，商品成本指数和各种其他方法框架作为消费者价格结构的基础。
Although inflation is much feared for its negative effects on the economy, how to measure it is a matter of considerable debate that has important implications for interest rates, monetary supply, and investment and spending decisions. Underlying many of these issues is the concept of the Cost-of-Living Index (COLI) and its controversial role as the methodological foundation for the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Price Index Concepts and Measurements brings together leading experts to address the many questions involved in conceptualizing and measuring inflation. They evaluate the accuracy of COLI, a Cost-of-Goods Index, and a variety of other methodological frameworks as the bases for consumer price construction.
