ABSTRACT The paper presents a new combined annual cost of living and consumer price index for Norway covering 1492–2018, indicating that Norwegian price history has to be revised. The new historical price index is constructed on a significantly richer data material, which also makes it cover a longer period of price history than the existing one. This is made possible by the compilation of quantitative data from numerous sources, mostly originating from the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with grain prices stretching back to 1492. The new combined cost of living and consumer price index is constructed by a Laspeyres approach with shifting baskets for commodities and expenditure groups. The index makes it possible to follow annual inflation and deflation in Norway for a period of 526 years. When comparing to existing indices, the new series reveals that revisions are needed in Norwegian price history. These make the historical price development more in line with those of the neighbouring countries and more in line with the pattern of wholesale prices.

修订价格历史记录:挪威1492–2018年居民消费价格指数

摘要本文介绍了一个新的年度生活费用和消费者价格综合指数,涵盖了1492-2018年的挪威,这表明挪威的价格历史必须加以修订。新的历史价格指数是建立在非常丰富的数据资料之上的,这也使得它比现有价格指数涵盖了更长的价格历史记录。这可以通过收集来自许多来源(主要来自18、19和20世纪初)的定量数据而得以实现,谷物价格可以追溯到1492年。新的生活成本和消费者价格指数组合是通过Laspeyres方法构建的带有用于商品和支出群体的转移篮。该指数使得追踪526年期间的挪威年度通货膨胀和通货紧缩成为可能。与现有指标进行比较时,新系列显示,挪威价格历史记录需要修改。这些使历史价格的发展更符合邻国的历史发展,更符合批发价格的格局。
