Abstract:
In this paper, therefore, I propose to describe how G.N.P. at constant
prices is derived and to indicate some of the difficulties experienced in
what is called "deflating G.N.P. to constant prices". Such information will
help, I hope, to instil caution in the users of the national accounts, who may
not be aware of the considerable difficulties involved and the approximations
which have to be made in compiling data at constant prices. Furthermore,
it is hoped that the information provided will elicit in due course
suggestions for improvement from the users of the statistics.
