Price Indices Rekindled, 1970s–1990s: Theory and Practice at Cross Purposes?

Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 898-914, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper revisits the discussions on price indices during a period marked by theoretical advancements and practical challenges in measuring inflation. Index‐number theorists sought to improve accuracy, yet national statistical offices largely maintained established practices due to concerns over data availability, stability, and public trust.

The Source Brightness Distribution of Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flashes From the ALOFT Flight Campaign

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Terrestrial Gamma‐ray Flashes (TGFs) are naturally occurring phenomena that consist of bursts of gamma radiation associated with thunderclouds. Measurements of TGFs have been predominantly based on satellite instruments due to the significantly larger observation area compared to ground measurements. Due to atmospheric attenuation of the gamma

The interval Malmquist productivity index in DEA

Iranian Journal of Optimization, 2010
One of the most popular approaches to measuring productivity changes is basedon using Malmquist productivity indexes. In this paper we propose a method forobtaining interval Malmquist productivity index (IMPI). The classical DEAmodels have been before used for measuring the Malmquist productivity index.The current article extends DEA models for ...
