Yale economist Richard Ruggles warns the Wholesale Price Index is unreliable and misleading due to defects found in a 17 year study and a new report he headed for the Council on Wage and Price Stability. He doubts corrective action will come soon and notes broad influence on contracts, records, policy, and statistics production.
The Aug 5 1977 Scottsdale Daily Progress excerpt cites an investigator’s critique of the Wholesale Price Index. It argues the index relies on mining and manufacturing prices, undercounts agricultural data, and misrepresents true wholesale movements. It calls for broader data, including producer discounts and shipment prices, to reflect actual transaction prices.
The article criticizes the way price indexes and quality adjustments mask economic improvements. Ruggles calls for more careful analysis to understand inflation and policy, warning that decisions rest on faulty information though the world keeps turning.
