- 1. The Consumer Price Index and You - Teacher's Kit ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 62-560-XDescription:
This teacher's kit helps students understand how the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reflects price changes for the goods and services they buy.
The Custom Inflation Simulator is a Web-based resource that demonstrates how the many consumer goods and services in the 'basket' are used to calculate the CPI, and how consumption patterns differ from person to person. Using the simulator, students can also see the effect of individual price increases on overall inflation, in other words how each item in the basket is 'weighted' to reflect its importance in Canadians' consumption patterns.
Release date: 2004-10-01 - Articles and reports: 11-621-M2004014Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper studies the slowdown in Canadian consumer inflation, focussing on the appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar. It analyses the contribution of goods and services to the deceleration in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and compares Canadian and U.S. price movements for similar items.
Release date: 2004-06-24 - Articles and reports: 11-624-M2004006Geography: CanadaDescription:
The paper examines whether Canadians were paying more than the Americans for the goods and services they purchase, based on more than 160 product price data for each of the five years under study (1985, 1990, 1993, 1996, 1999).
Release date: 2004-04-27 - Articles and reports: 62F0014M2004017Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper documents the approach used to construct the shelter element of the current spatial index program. The intercity indexes of the retail price differentials program of Prices Division had, until recently, excluded any reference to shelter because of conceptual issues. A rental equivalence approach is used for measuring spatial variations in the costs of shelter services among cities. To control for quality variations across areas, a semi-log separate hedonic regression methodology is used to construct the Laspeyres, Paasche, and Fisher Törnqvist interarea indices.
