摘要

Diewert和Fox(2022)研究了2020年COVID-19大流行对构建消费者价格指数的各种影响。提交人指出，大流行病导致消费支出和份额发生重大变化，因此固定一篮子指数公式不适用。他们强调需要更频繁地调查消费者支出，这将有助于编制被认为优于传统的拉斯佩尔指数或杨氏指数的费雪指数。此外，Diewert和Fox讨论了各种“新”技术的使用，如网络抓取、扫描数据和通过信用卡交易的信息来估计消费支出。

“Measuring Inflation under Pandemic Conditions”: A Comment

Abstract Diewert and Fox (2022) examine various implications of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic for constructing consumer price indexes. The authors state that the pandemic caused major changes in consumption expenditures and shares which makes fixed basket index number formulae inapplicable. They emphasize the need for more frequent surveys of consumer expenditure which will enable compilation of the Fisher index which is considered superior to the traditional Laspeyres or Young indexes. In addition, Diewert and Fox discuss the use of various “new” technologies such as web scraping, scanner data, and information from transactions through credit cards to estimate consumption expenditure.
