Double-deflation and the Canadian experience in measuring real GDP / by M. Salem, N. Miller and Y. M. Siddiqi.: CS15-602/75E-PDF

"The paper begins with the analyses which have questioned the concept and validity of real value added and the double-deflation technique used to compile real industry GDP. It provides a brief survey of the literature on these issues and the alternatives which have been advanced over the years to replace either the economic concept or the measurement technique. Finally, it describes Statistics Canada's experience in modeling and compilation of industry real value added to highlight how the shortcomings of double-deflation are managed in the Canadian input-output accounts"--Abstract.
