Talk:Core inflation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone know where I can actually find the experimental Consumer Price Index for the Elderly in an actual percentage. DOL (US Govt) does not actually have published on its sight--supposedly according to their site they have followed it since 1984?Kaised1 07:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed citation problems

Fixed the citation problems. Converted all refs to new format. Added a "Recent numbers" heading for recent data already in article, which probably should be expressed as a table.--John Nagle 18:18, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Better definition ??

Would`t be a better definition :

Core inflation is a measure of inflation which excludes the items with the highest inflation rate e.g. food and gas.

So, according to the FED, food and gas are not core Personal consumption expenditures !

What does that kind of official definition (of core inflation) say about the decency/honesty of todays america ?? 79.210.104.232 (talk) 10:03, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
