The Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) is carrying out a redesign of Consumer Price Survey (CPS). The availability of Scanner Data (SD) from retail modern distribution, provided to ISTAT by Nielsen for a large number of stores selling food and grocery, is the starting point of this innovation. Indeed, SD represent a big opportunity for improving the computation of Consumer Price Index (CPI). This work aims to study the properties of alternative aggregation formulas of the elementary price index in different sampling schemes implemented on SD. Bias and efficiency of the estimated indices are evaluated through a Monte Carlo simulation.

Abstract
The Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) is carrying out a redesign of Consumer Price Survey (CPS). The availability of Scanner Data (SD) from retail modern distribution, provided to ISTAT by Nielsen for a large number of stores selling food and grocery, is the starting point of this innovation. Indeed, SD represent a big opportunity for improving the computation of Consumer Price Index (CPI). This work aims to study the properties of alternative aggregation formulas of the elementary price index in different sampling schemes implemented on SD. Bias and efficiency of the estimated indices are evaluated through a Monte Carlo simulation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
