Unit 2: Introduction to Macroeconomics

Lesson 9b: Inflation

Key Formulas

 

To measure inflation, subtract last year's price index from this year's price index and divide by last year's index; then multiply by 100 to express as a percentage.

Inflation Rate = [ (Price Index this year - Price Index last year) / Price Index last year ] x 100

IN rate 2015 = [ (PI 2015 - PI 2014) / PI 2014 ] x 100
