उत्तर
An index number is a device to measure changes in economic variables (or groups of variables) over a period of time. The types of index numbers are as follows:
- Price Index Number: It measures the general changes in prices of goods. It compares the level of prices between two different time periods.
- Quantity Index Number: It measures changes in the level of output or physical volume of production in the economy. E.g.: changes in agricultural and industrial production, etc., over time. It is also called the volume index number.
- Value Index Number: The value of a commodity is the product of its price and quantity (p × q). Value index number measures changes in the value of a variable in terms of rupees. It is a more informative index because it combines changes in price and quantity.
- Special Purpose Index Number: They are constructed for a specific purpose. E.g.: import-export index numbers, labour productivity index numbers, share price index numbers, etc.
