Abstract

inflate is a one-line command to inflate (or deflate) variables from any year to any other year based on the annual average Consumer Price Index All Urban, All Items U.S. City Average. inflate adjusts to the year specified in end(int) using either a constant starting year in start(int) or a year variable that can change across observations in year(varname). Inflation is calculated according to the simple formula: newvar = oldvar*(CPI_end / CPI_start or CPI_year).
