    • 1. Outlet Substitution Bias in the Canadian Consumer Price Index: A Case Study Archived
      Articles and reports: 62F0014M2005018
      Geography: Canada
      Description: Since the early 1990s, increased attention has been focused on the possibility that the rate of inflation may be being overstated as a result of measurement biases in the estimation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). One source of this possible error is caused by outlet substitution bias. This type of distortion can result when consumers shift their patronage from one retail outlet to another. As superstores and warehouse type stores continue to open and capture a larger share of the market, the existing CPI sample could become increasingly unrepresentative. If the prices are lower at the new outlets and this decrease in costs is not accurately captured in the CPI, the index will exhibit an upward bias.

    How are the results ordered?

    The Sort by feature provides four options:

    • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
    • By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
    • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
    • By title – sorts results alphabetically.
