This project will investigate how new sources of data can be used to improve the accuracy of price indexes that are used in policy formation, such as the consumer price index. The adoption of bar-code labelling for products has provided statistical agencies with an information-rich source of 'scanner data' on prices and quantities of purchased goods. In collaboration with the Australian Bureau of Statistics, this project will develop mathematical and statistical methods for exploiting this new data source. The findings will contribute to the improvement of price indexes, and subsequently the many government policies that depend on these indexes.

这个项目将研究如何使用新的数据来源来提高用于政策形成的价格指数的准确性，例如消费者价格指数。产品条形码标签的采用为统计机构提供了关于购买商品的价格和数量的信息丰富的“扫描仪数据”来源。该项目将与澳大利亚统计局合作，开发利用这一新数据来源的数学和统计方法。这些发现将有助于价格指数的改善，以及随后许多依赖于这些指数的政府政策。
