Abstract

This article examines the relationship between the implied price deflator derived from the Retail Sales Index and the change in prices calculated from a comparable price index constructed using components of the consumer prices index (CPI). A decomposition approach is used to highlight the contribution of different products to the difference in growth rates over time.
