This paper reviews the main properties of mixed-form (price) indices, in other words, chained indices which in real time behave as direct (fixed-base) indices. The European Union HICP is used as demonstration material.

This paper analyses the sample sizes needed to estimate Laspeyres consumer price subindices under a combination of alternative sample designs, aggregation methods and temporal targets. In a simplified consumer market, the definition of the statistical target has been founded on the...

In current practice in all countries, subaggregate chained volume measures (CVMs) are not weighted and, thus, not additive. However, weights are necessary because without them, nonadditivity permits the nonsensical result that a subaggregate CVM could exceed the aggregate CVM. This paper derives...

In current practice, subaggregate chained volume measures (CVMs) are neither weighted nor additive. This paper derives and implements "weights" for weighted subaggregate CVMs to be additive (i.e., their sum equals aggregate CVM) because without weights, nonadditivity permits the nonsensical...

Basic public education is still largely the responsibility of the central government, delivered through the Department of Education (DepEd), notwithstanding the devolution of many basic services to local government units (LGUs). However, LGUs do provide supplementary funding support to public...
