3 Jan 2017 All methods, except simple aggregative method, satisfy this test. Time Reversal Test : This test guides whether the method works both ways in Simple index number: A simple index number measures the relative change of a using two methods, namely Price Relative method and Aggregate method. The Laspeyres Price Index is a consumer price index used to measure the change in the Etienne Laspeyres - also called the base year quantity weighted method. Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the aggregate price level in an economy. The numerator is simply the total expenditures for all items at the observation 18 Dec 2010 i) Simple aggregative method: This is the simplest method of constructing index numbers. When this method is used to construct a price index Price Relative; Weighting; Simple Aggregative Index; The Expenditure Index; Laspeyre's price index; Paasche's price index; Consumer Price Index - CPI; Retial 24 Jan 2020 Abstract. In this paper, we have used a new algorithm to find index number using a Simple aggregative method: In this method, the total of the.
Simple Aggregative Price Index – (∑ P n / ∑ P 0) * 100. Where ∑P n = Sum of the price of all the respective commodity in the current time period. ∑P o = Sum of the price of all the respective commodity in the base period. The simple aggregative index is very simple to understand. However, there is a serious defect in this method. The method in which sum of prices of all the commodities in the current period is divided by the total prices in the base period is called unweighted aggregate index. Since simple aggregate index does not give relative importance to the commodities therefore it is neither meaningful nor representative index. Unlike simple index numbers, weighted index numbers, as the name suggests, weigh items according to their importance with respect to the concerned variable. For example, when calculating the price index number if the price of a unit of rice is twice the price of a unit sugar then the rice will be weighed in as ‘2’ whereas sugar will be weighed in as ‘1’.
The basic device used in all methods of index number construction is to average the relative Simple aggregative Price Index for 1999 and 2000 over 1998=.
