Abstract

Los objetivos de este trabajo son tres. En primer lugar elaborar índices de precios de los ordenadores en España en el periodo 1990-2000. En segundo lugar compararlos con los compilados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales de Estados Unidos. En tercer lugar explorar la viabilidad de la transferencia de funciones hedónicas entre países. Nuestros resultados indican que las variaciones medias anuales de los ordenadores de escritorio y portátiles para España en el periodo 1990-2000 ascendieron a – 35,2% y –31,5% respectivamente. Si bien las cifras parecen excesivas, nuestros resultados son similares a los obtenidos en otras investigaciones con un enfoque hedónico y a las cifras reportadas por la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales de Estados Unidos. The aims of this study are three. In first place to build price indexes for personal computers in Spain during 1990-2000. In second place to compare our price indexes with those compile by National Institute of Statistics and Bureau of Labor Statistics. In third place to make an exploration about the viability of transfer hedonic functions between countries. Our results shows a –35,2% and –31,5% average decline per annual of the PC’ price indexes (desktop and portable respectively) in Spain during the analyzed period. Our results are very similar to those obtained in others studies that apply hedonic techniques and those reported by de Bureau of Labor Statistics.
