Socratic Economics IV: How is inflation calculated? | 41 comments (41 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

In Sweden I find no shift in the early 80'ies. According to the Central bureau of statistics:

Inflation i Sverige 1831-2006 - Statistik från SCB

Inflationstalen bygger på en tidsserie som bildats genom sammanlänkning av Myrdal-Bouvins konsumentprisindex (1830-1914), Levnadskostnadsindex utan direkta skatter och sociala förmåner (juli 1914 - juni 1954) samt Konsumentprisindex (juli 1954- ).

Lots of swedish (have I mentioned I like TribEXT?) but essentially the core of the matter is that since july 1954 inflation in Sweden has been based on a consumer price index. The items in the index change to accurately reflect the actual consumption.

The inflation figure is based on a time series which is constructed by linking together the Myrdal-Bouvins consumer price index (1830-1914), the cost of living index without direct taxes or social benefits (July 1914 - June 1854) and the consumer price index (since July 1954)
