The Marshall-Edgeworth index, credited to Marshall (1887) and Edgeworth (1925), [11] is a weighted relative of current period to base period sets of prices. This index uses the arithmetic average of the current and based period quantities for weighting. It is considered a pseudo-superlative formula and is symmetric. [12] The use of the Marshall ...

I added the Marshall-Edgeworth formulas plus some other information I found on it. Feel free to add any other formulas. I've been slow to flesh this out.--Bkwillwm 03:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC) Okay. I just don't want to screw-up any longer-term vision that you have for this article.
The general price level is a hypothetical measure of overall prices for some set of goods and services (the consumer basket), in an economy or monetary union during a given interval (generally one day), normalized relative to some base set. Typically, the general price level is approximated with a daily price index, normally the Daily CPI.
An index number is an economic data figure reflecting price or quantity compared with a standard or base value. [5] [6] The base usually equals 100 and the index number is usually expressed as 100 times the ratio to the base value. For example, if a commodity costs
A time series price index is calculated relative to a base or reference date. is the value of the index at the base date. For example, if the base date is (the end of) 1992, is the value of the index at (the end of) 1992. The price index is typically normalized to start at 100 at the base date, so is set to 100.
An Edgeworth price cycle is cyclical pattern in prices characterized by an initial jump, which is then followed by a slower decline back towards the initial level. The term was introduced by Maskin and Tirole (1988) [ 1 ] in a theoretical setting featuring two firms bidding sequentially and where the winner captures the full market.
