William Fleetwood’s attempt to measure this quantity in Chronicon Preciosum emerged out of a dispute about the fellowship rules of Oxford. Alberto Cavallo (-5[1])and Roberto Rigodon formed an MIT database used to publish a “Verdadera” (15[2])number named for this (15[2])quantity. A (15[1])method named for Laspeyres produces higher estimates of this quantity than one named for Paasche. (-5[1])The Simpson-Bowles (10[1])commission suggested using a (*) “chained” (10[1])form of a process used to measure this quantity (10[1])to (10[3])reduce substitution and small-sample biases. Market baskets are typically (10[1])used to measure this quantity, whose core form excludes food (10[1])and energy. For 10 points, name this quantity, measured by the CPI, which (10[1])means (10[1])that a given amount of money buys less goods. ■END■
