Abstract

A dolgozat az infláció öt különböző megközelítésével foglalkozik. Nyilvánvalónak tűnik, hogy a megélhetési költségek változása, a pénztartás költsége, a reálkamat és a reálárfolyam számítása, illetve a (monetáris) infláció indexének koordinációs funkciója más-más követelményeket támaszt az árindexszel szemben. A szerzők véleménye szerint az infláció problémakörének túlzott leegyszerűsítésére vezet, ha azt egyetlen ,,univerzális" mutatóval kívánjuk megragadni. A hazai fogyasztóiár-statisztika jelen állapotában ,,tisztán" az elméleti inflációfogalmak egyikének sem feleltethető meg. A tanulmány megfogalmaz néhány, a fogyasztóiár-statisztika metodikájával kapcsolatos javaslatot. Ugyanakkor a fogyasztói árindex (CPI) statisztika az egyik legjobb minőségű adatforrás. Ennek jobb kihasználása érdekében a tanulmány részint a vázolt problémák illusztrálásaként kísérletet tesz a rendelkezésre álló adatsorok bázisán az egyes ,,felhasználási területeknek" teoretikus alapon megfelelő, elemzési célú mutatók kialakítására.
