Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Index Numbers
E. Antony Selvanathan · 1994
63/100
👎 Skip It
This is a technical statistics text for economists working on price and productivity measurement, and it does what it sets out to do by unifying several index-number problems into one method. But it's written for specialists only, with no attempt to make the material approachable. Skip it unless econometrics is genuinely your world.
