Gdp Deflator
Linked via "Fisher index"
Calculation Methodology
The GDP Deflator employs a chained or Fisher index approach in modern statistical practices, although early methodologies relied on the Laspeyres or Paasche formulas sequentially. The major advantage of the modern chain-weighted approach is its ability to address substitution bias—the tendency for consumers and producers to shift consumption patterns toward relatively cheaper goods over time.
