  • 1. Measuring inflation in Australia Archived
    Articles and reports: 62F0014M19970103357
    Description:

    The ABS currently publishes a wide range of separate consumer, producer and international trade price indexes, each relating to a particular segment of economic activity, as well as implicit price deflators and fixed weighted indexes derived from the national accounts. These individual indexes can be considered as partial indicators as they each relate to a particular economic activity. Each index was developed to meet specific requirements and is released in its own separate, specialized publication, with substantial differences in profile. The Consumer Price Index is frequently used as a measure of inflation but it has a number of conceptual shortcomings for such purposes. In recent years, there has been increasing international attention directed towards developing new approaches to the measurement of inflation. The purpose of this paper is to briefly outline the framework and current or future developments in the field of price statistics. The paper concludes that although no studies of bias have been undertaken in the Australian CPI, it is believed that any bias is likely to be small.

Search help

How do I use the filters and the search box?

  • You can initiate a search by entering keywords or selecting filters (e.g., under Subject, Geography, etc.) on the left side of the page.

  • Filters can be used together or in any combination. Each time you select a filter, the results on the page are updated.

  • To start a new search, click on the Clear all button above the search box or deselect each filter.

  • Specified keywords and filters appear above the search box. You can deselect any or all the tags to refine or clear your search.

How do I refine my search?

  • You can enter keywords in the search box. It is not necessary to use “+” or “, “ or “AND”.

  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.
