Barnett, William; Choi, Ki-Hong; Sinclair, Tara M. - Department of Economics, University of Kansas - 2012

Diewert’s (1976) “superlative” index numbers, defined to be exact for second order aggregator functions, unify index number theory with aggregation theory, but have been difficult to identify. We present a new approach to finding elements of this class. This new approach, related to that...
