    This six minute video gave me a far better understanding of CPI and inflation rate than my professor's 45 minute one. Thank you!

      my inflation rate in 2018 is 24.8 but in the video the answer is 10.25?

  • @alexandrugeorge1573
    @alexandrugeorge1573 11 місяців тому

    What i don’t understand is that they do this for each month compared to same month last year. So in January might be 15% and December 5%. Does that mean the inflation for this year was 5% or is it the average for all months from january to december . Example for 2 months… (15+5)/2 = 10.

      @digdug1577 3 місяці тому

      Yeah this is exactly the hole I saw. What year do you start what's your base year and how does the overall change in the quantity of what people buy is reflected in the CPI it looks like it's not. So essentially if we're buying one of the things That really increased in price or net inflation will be higher than what the CPI index indicates.

    • @EconomicsinManyLessons
      @EconomicsinManyLessons  3 роки тому

      The CPI is an index number it is not a percent. When the CPI increases, the price level went up. The inflation rate, which is a percentage, is calculated by using two CPI numbers and calculating the percentage change between them.
