Abstract

Napjaink gazdaságában egyre fontosabb a termékekbe és szolgáltatásokba épülő tudás és információ szerepe. Ez - a gazdasági folyamatok sebességének növekedésével - állandó és egyre gyorsuló változásokat okoz a termékek minőségében. A minőség mérésének, a megjelenő és eltűnő termékek nyomon követésének a nehézsége és a számbavétel korrektségének fontossága nemcsak a nemzetközi szakirodalomban, de a statisztika mérvadó nemzetközi szabványaiban is megjelenik. E szabványok szerint az árindexeknek tisztán az árváltozást kell mérniük, minden mást - így a termék minőségének változását is - a volumenindexnek kell tartalmaznia. Azt azonban még az EU-tagországainak statisztikai szolgálataira kötelező érvényű jogszabályok megalkotói is elismerik, hogy számos termék esetében nem világos, hogy ez a dekompozíció hogyan vihető végbe a gyakorlatban. A szerző kísérletet tesz a probléma kiküszöbölésére s a minőség mérésére használatos módszerek bemutatására, különös tekintettel a nemzetközileg elfogadott, de Magyarországon csak kevéssé alkalmazott hedonikus indexekre. Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: C43, E31.
