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.

Rejecting capital-skill complementarity at all costs [PDF]
Any serious empirical study of factor substitutability has to allow the data to display complementarity as well as substitutability. The standard approach reflecting this idea is a translog specification – this is also the approach used by numerous ...
