  • 1. Behind the Numbers: What’s Causing Growth in Food Prices
    Articles and reports: 62F0014M2022014
    Description: Consumer prices for food purchased from stores rose to a 41-year high in October 2022, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This analysis explores the factors behind rising prices for food commodities, including shifting consumer demand trends, supply constraints and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

  • 2. Prices through the supply chain: Softwood lumber
    Articles and reports: 62F0014M2022011
    Description:

    To better understand the unprecedented volatility in lumber prices and the ensuing price transmission, this analysis evaluates the price movements across the domestic supply chain for lumber since the summer of 2020 using producer price indexes.

  • 3. Technical Guide for the Building Construction Price Index
    Articles and reports: 62F0014M2022005
    Description:

    This technical guide describes the estimation of the Building Construction Price Index (BCPI). It explains the component cost methodology, the aggregation structure, and the data sources used to derive price relatives that are appropriately aggregated to estimate the index. The BCPI measures the quarterly change over time in the prices that contractors charge to construct a range of new residential and non-residential buildings.

  • 4. Technical guide for the Machinery and Equipment Price Index
    Articles and reports: 62F0014M2022006
    Description:

    This article presents the data sources and methodology for the Machinery and Equipment Price Index (MEPI). The MEPI is an input price index that measures the quarterly change in the price of machinery and equipment purchased by industries in Canada. The MEPI is an important indicator of economic activity in all industries undertaking capital investment, serving as a tool for performance evaluation, cost monitoring, contract assessment and benchmark comparisons. It also provides supplemental information to the Canadian System of Macroeconomic Accounts to calculate gross domestic product and measure changes in productivity.

  • 5. Industrial Product Price Index: 2021 Annual Review
    Articles and reports: 62F0014M2022002
    Description:

    A review of how prices for products manufactured in Canada, as measured by the Industrial Product Price Index (IPPI), changed in 2021 when compared to 2020. The ongoing effects of COVID-19, macroeconomic phenomena, supply chain issues, as well as international trade all played roles in influencing industrial prices. Prices for lumber, energy products, and metals had a strong influence on the IPPI in 2021.

  • 6. Do producer prices predict consumer prices?
    Articles and reports: 62F0014M2022001
    Description:

    There has been a persistent curiosity about the predictability of consumer price inflation by looking at the pass-through effect of prices from earlier stages of production. The theory is that the prices of consumer items, particularly goods, respond to cost pressures from the inputs to production. This paper examines in particular a limited portion of the value chain, namely the predictive power of producer prices of goods as measured by the Industrial Product Price Index (IPPI) on consumer prices, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
