An examination of the consumer price index and implicit price index as measures of recent price change in the Canadian economy : prepared for the Prices and Incomes Commission / by R.M.A. Loyns, Department...: RG33-6/1972-PDF
"Price indexes play a central role in public decision making, research and a number of other important areas. Institutionalism of the price indexes increases the need for improved understanding of their concepts and construction, and for evaluation of various aspects of them in terms of their uses. This study attempts to convey descriptive and evaluative information on the two most widely used price series, the Consumer Price Index and the Implicit Price Index"--Preface, page iii.
