IPD Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The alternative index to the
CPI is the
implicit price deflator for personal consumption (
IPD). This price index uses current period quantities as the weights rather than some fixed bundle. Current personal
consumption is measured in today's prices and then compared to current personal consumption at prices from a base year. This price index method assumes that the consumer has made allowances for changes in relative prices.
