Remarks about the generalizations of the Fisher index

Author

  • Jacek Białek

Abstract

In Fisher’s index theory the crossing of formulas and weights was regarded as the most pertinent method to derive an “ideal” index formula. The well known Fisher index is a geometric mean of Laspeyres and Paasche indexes and it satisfies most of the postulates coming from the axiomatic index theory. In this paper we consider the generalized Fisher index. The purpose of the study is to propose and discuss some more general class of indexes including the generalized Fisher index.
