The ECB measures the increase in prices with
A Laspeyres price index is used. This is based on a specific basket of goods with fixed quantities of a base year. The prices of this base year are then compared with current prices. An increase in the price index means that this basket of goods has become more expensive: the buyer must therefore spend more money to purchase the goods and services of this fixed quantity. – See base effect, procurement shifts, composition effect, product novelties, quality changes, substitution behavior housing, owner-occupied. – Cf. ECB Monthly Bulletin of December 2006, pp. 57 et seq. (calculation of price increases [p. 60 also broken down by sector] on the basis of national accounts data; problem outline, overviews), ECB Monthly Bulletin of November 2009, pp. 50 et seq. (taxes and inflation), ECB Monthly Bulletin of November 2010, pp. 98 et seq. (relationship between money supply and inflation).
