Presents an overview of the CPI, details why it is not a true cost of living index, & discusses substitution bias. Describes procedures employed to adjust for quality change, presents a survey of studies & the Commission's judgment on the bias from quality change & new products, & summarizes findings on the size of the bias. Discusses the issue of separate price indexes for different groups & of aspects of quality of life that fall outside the market based consumption focus of cost-of-living measures.
