Abstract

Wskaźnik cen towarów i usług konsumpcyjnych (CPI, Consumer Price Index) stosowany jest jako podstawowa miara inflacji. W praktyce do pomiaru CPI używany jest indeks cen Laspeyresa z wagami z okresu bazowego. Tak liczony indeks nie uwzględnia zmian w strukturze konsumpcji, które są spowodowane zmianami cen w badanym przedziale czasowym. Oznacza to, że indeks liczony formułą Laspeyresa może być obciążony z tytułu substytucji dóbr (commodity substytution bias). Celem pracy jest omówienie potencjalnych źródeł obciążenia indeksu CPI oraz zastosowanie dwóch podejść do jego oszacowania. Pierwsze z nich wiąże się z pojęciem tzw. indeksów superlatywnych. Drugie związane jest z uogólnionym indeksem Fishera i pozwala na bardziej szczegółową dekompozycję obciążenia indeksu CPI. W artykule, poza wynikami badania empirycznego dla danych dla Polski, zaprezentowano również badanie symulacyjne uwzględniające uogólniony indeks Fishera. Analiza empiryczna dla okresu I 2010 – I 2013 prowadzi do wniosku o niewielkim, choć niestabilnym w czasie obciążeniu CPI wynikającym z tytułu substytucji dóbr. Badanie symulacyjne z kolei pozwala stwierdzić, że imputacja cen dóbr nowych i znikających ma diametralny wpływ na wielkość obciążenia CPI z tytułu ich substytucji. Ponadto można zaobserwować, że znak i wielkość korelacji pomiędzy cenami a ilościami dóbr z analizowanego koszyka CPI z reguły nie mają wpływu na wielkość obciążenia CPI w szerokim sensie.
