INDEX NUMBERS
INTRODUCTION
 An index number measures the relative
change in price, quantity, value, or some
other item of interest from one time period to
another.
 A simple index number measures the
relative change in one or more than one
variable.
WHAT IS AN INDEX NUMBER
.
 An index number measures
how much a variable changes
over time.
 We calculate the index number
by finding the ratio of the
current value to a base value.
DEFINITION
 Index numbers are quantitative measures of
growth of prices, production, inventory and
other quantities of economic interest.

-Ronold
CHARACTERISTICS OF INDEX NUMBERS
 Index numbers are specialized averages.
 Index numbers are expressed in percentages
 Index numbers measure the change in the level of
a phenomenon.
 Index numbers measure the effect of changes over
a period of time.
USES OF INDEX NUMBERS
o To framing suitable policies
o They reveal trends and tendencies.
o Index numbers help in measuring the purchasing
power of money.
PROBLEMS RELATED TO INDEX NUMBERS
 Choice of the base period.
 Choice of an average.

SIMPLE AGGREGATIVE METHOD
It consists in expressing the aggregate price of all
commodities in the current year as a percentage of the
aggregate price in the base year.
P01= Index number of the current year.

SIMPLE AVERAGE OF RELATIVES METHOD.
 The current year price is expressed as a price relative
of the base year price. These price relatives are then
averaged to get the index number. The average used
could be arithmetic mean, geometric mean or even
median.

WEIGHTED INDEX NUMBERS
 These are those index numbers in which rational weights are
assigned to various chains in an explicit fashion.
(A) Weighted aggregative index numbers-
These index numbers are the simple aggregative type
with the fundamental difference that weights are
assigned to the various items included in the index.
 Dorbish and bowleys method.
 Fishers ideal method.
 Marshall-Edgeworth method.
 Laspeyres method.
 Paasche method.
 Kellys method.
LASPEYRES METHOD-
This method was devised by Laspeyres in 1871. In this
method the weights are determined by quantities in the base.

DORBISH & BOWLEYS METHOD.
This method is a combination of Laspeyres and Paasches
methods. If we find out the arithmetic average of
Laspeyres and Paasches index we get the index suggested
by Dorbish & Bowley.
Fishers Ideal Index.
Fishers deal index number is the geometric mean of the
Laspeyres and Paasches index numbers.

MARSHALL-EDGEWORTH METHOD.
In this index the numerator consists of an aggregate of the
current years price multiplied by the weights of both the base
year as well as the current year.
Kellys Method.
Kelly thinks that a ratio of aggregates with selected weights
(not necessarily of base year or current year) gives the base
index number.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF PRICE RELATIVE
In weighted Average of relative, the price relatives for
the current year are calculated on the basis of the
base year price. These price relatives are multiplied
by the respective weight of items. These products are
added up and divided by the sum of weights.

VALUE INDEX NUMBERS
Value is the product of price and quantity. A simple
ratio is equal to the value of the current year divided
by the value of base year. If the ratio is multiplied by
100 we get the value index number.

CHAIN INDEX NUMBERS
When this method is used the comparisons are not
made with a fixed base, rather the base changes from
year to year. For example, for 2007,2006 will be the
base; for 2006, 2005 will be the same and so on.
