Consumer price index
In Economics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure of a weighted average of prices of a specified set of goods and services purchased by wage earners in urban areas.
The CPI is a fixed quantity price index and cannot reflect the improvement/deprovement of quality. The CPI also ignores the introduction of new products.
