40 Appendix 1 Price Changes All money data here is in current (nominal) dollars. The data below may help you convert to real (ie inflation-adjusted) dollars. Indices have PPI: 1982 = 1.000; CPI: = Year PPI CPI Change Philip A. Viton () CRP 776 Intro January 5, / 41
41 Appendix 2 Average Annual Rates of Change In the data, columns marked Change show the absolute change between the two columns immediately to its left. It may be easier to think about the data if you convert it to an average annual rate of change. To do this, let a 1 be the smaller quantity, at time t 1, and let a 2 be the larger quantity at time t 2. The average rate of change r is given implicitly by The solution is: a 1 (1 + r) t 2 t 1 = a r = ( a2 a 1 ) 1 t 2 t 1 That is, if the series started at level a 1 at time t 1 and changed each period by the same rate (1 + r), then at time t 2 it would be at level a 2..
