Solution

Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a commonly used measure of Inflation.

Here's why:

  1. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food, and medical care.

  2. It is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them.

  3. Changes in the CPI are used to assess price changes associated with the cost of living, making it one of the most frequently used statistics for identifying periods of inflation or deflation.

  4. Therefore, while CPI can indirectly impact factors like aggregate demand and the strength of a currency, it is primarily used as a direct measure of inflation.
