Note one thing though: it is a different thing to say that (i) hedonic pricing should not be used and that (ii) using it one way in one country and another in another country distorts comparisons. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
To the second, did you know that countries other than the US were using these tools? Why was only the US being bashed, by you and others? It seemed pretty clear from your and Migeru's comments that you were saying hedonic pricing should not be used--and all the vitriol was aimed at the US,,,,saying that it was being done by the Americans to make their numbers look better. What was that all about?
