Abstract

We present new price indices for the period 1886- 1929. These indices have several advantages with respect to the previous ones: i) they cover the whole period with the same methodology, and by reaching 1929 these series can be joined whit contemporary price indices, ii) they include more products, iii) they use price data more homogeneous and reliable, iv) they are monthly price indices, v) their methodology is explicit, it follows clear and precise rules, and vi) they obey the basic consistency criteria that economic theory predicts, both from an statistical point of view.// Presentamos nuevos índices de precios para el periodo 1886-1929. Estos índices introducen una mejoría con respecto a los anteriores por varias razones: i) cubren con una misma metodología todo el periodo y al llegar a 1929 pueden unirse a los índices de precios contemporáneos, ii) incluyen un mayor número de productos, iii) integran datos de precios más homogéneos y confiables, iv) son índices de precios mensuales, v) su metodología es explícita, sigue reglas claras y precisas y vi) cumplen con los criterios básicos de congruencia que presupone la teoría económica, tanto desde una perspectiva teórica como estadística.
