Thanks to Dave Richardson for his discussion of the bias problem with the
CPI. This issue comes up in Macro and now I have a detailed response.
One quick addition, and Dave can tell us if I am wrong on this. The GNP or
GDP deflator calculation process overcomes most but not all of the problems

The CPI seems to be an issue on the list now. This note is in response to
the postings of Doug and Marianne (found below my response). Pls refer to
my previous posts to Eric and Michael for further information.

Paul Sweezy's first chapter in _The Theory of Capitalist Development_ is
one of the clearest and most eloquent arguments for basing economics and,
more generally, social theory around social relations. I would like to
make this point in my urban theory course next fall, but a more modern
reading
The book I referred to in my earlier posting as "The Cost of Sprawl" was
written by a graduate class at Pace University (I think). It's different
from the official study done by the ULI (I think). The book's overarching

Sorry about the confusion. Everyone who works with the CPI, government,
academic, business, ..., is now convinced that the CPI has an upward bias of
perhaps 1%+ per year compared to a Konus (constant utility) index. There
has been a great deal of publicity about this here in DC and I, perhap
The figures on nominal wages refer to the "average worker" and hence are
more like wages for an "average" job than for any job in particular. You
seem to imply that there is a data series out there with wages for
particular jobs, weighted perhaps by number of workers. If so I would be
