A note on commodity price aggregation bias without separability

Author

  • Camilo Sarmiento

Abstract

This study identifies sources of price aggregation bias when separability restrictions do not apply. It shows that even though the assumption of the generalized composite commodity theorem guarantees aggregate integrability, it does not guarantee consistent price aggregation except in the homothetic translog model.
