- Articles and reports: 62F0014M2026004Description: In collaboration with the Bank of Canada, this research paper extends previous work on alternative approaches to measuring owned accommodation (OA) in the Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI), with a particular focus on rental equivalence (RE). The analysis constructs analytical price index series for Canada using the main OA measurement concepts proposed in the International Consumer Price Index Manual and widely adopted internationally. The study examines how OA and the all-items CPI may have evolved from 2004 to 2025 under different methodologies. The inclusion of asking-rent–based RE measures aims to better capture secondary rental market dynamics and provide more timely insights into how rent movements affect OA and the all-items CPI.Release date: 2026-05-26
- 2. Evaluating different approaches to measuring owned accommodation in the Consumer Price Index ArchivedArticles and reports: 62F0014M2024002Description: In collaboration with the Bank of Canada, this research paper focuses on constructing analytical price index series for Canada, using the main owned accommodation measurement concepts proposed by the International Consumer Price Index Manual and adopted by other countries. This analysis explores these alternative treatments of owned accommodation in the Canadian context, examining their impact on the all-items Consumer Price Index. Additionally, it provides an explanation for the gap between perceived inflation and estimated inflation.Release date: 2024-03-28
- Articles and reports: 62F0014M2021017Description: Decisions by economic agents, such as firms and consumers, depend on their views about inflation. Consumers’ views of inflation, are systematically higher than inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and more so for certain demographic groups. While measurement factors can explain part of this gap, behavioral factors appear to play a larger role. This article examines these factors to explain the gap between CPI’s inflation and inflation perceptions in Canada.Release date: 2022-01-19
