multilaterals - Transitive Index Numbers for Cross-Sections and Panel Data
Computing transitive (and non-transitive) index numbers
(Coelli et al., 2005 <doi:10.1007/b136381>) for cross-sections
and panel data. For the calculation of transitive indexes, the
EKS (Coelli et al., 2005 <doi:10.1007/b136381>; Rao et al.,
2002 <doi:10.1007/978-1-4615-0851-9_4>) and Minimum spanning
tree (Hill, 2004 <doi:10.1257/0002828043052178>) methods are
implemented. Traditional fixed-base and chained indexes, and
their growth rates, can also be derived using the Paasche,
Laspeyres, Fisher and Tornqvist formulas.
