Ten days ago, Istat reported for "inflation", which refer to the month of June.
inflation in June falls to 0.5% , by 0.9% in May. This was communicated by ISTAT, confirming the preliminary estimate. The inflation rate thus leads to the lowest level since September 1968, which stood at 0.4%. prices on a monthly basis, are increased by 0.1 .
Anyone familiar with the Austrian school of economics knows that inflation is quite another thing while the percentage change in a price index can not help but measure only one of the consequences of 'inflation.
Another concern relates then the basket of goods which ISTAT statistics are compiled and its importance in our lives everyday. The Institute of Statistics, in fact, assigns to each product category (and there are almost two hundred) a weight percentage and then going to add anything to dial a number, the price index, the variations of which are reported monthly.
It is not told (indeed it never is) that the weights assigned by Istat reflect our habits of consumption that is virtually certain that the cost of living , considered as the cost of our lives , is very different from that drawn up by ISTAT.
Have you ever wished you could compile your own personal shopping basket and see the impact on Istat data? From now able to do it.
This simple program allows you to fill your basket of goods and services on which to base the estimate of inflation, while using the price changes recorded by the National Statistics .
What you do is very simple:
- select an asset from the drop-down list (eg pasta)
- assigned a weight of that object (ie how much you have spent in pasta nell’ultimo mese)
- clickate su aggiungi
Quando avete finito fate click sul bottone calcola ed in una finestra apparirà il dato dell’inflazione secondo il vostro paniere rapportato con il dato fornito dall’Istat per il giugno 2009.
Buon divertimento
