STATISTICAL PROCESSING

The producer- and import price index for commodities is based on approx. 6400 prices, reported by selected producers and importers in Denmark. Approx. 3500 prices are used for calculating the producer price index, approx. 2900 prices are used for calculating the import price index and approx. 4900 prices are used for calculating the price index for domestic supply. The prices are collected every month through an electronic questionnaire and validated.

The validated data are then aggregated in a hierarchical system to calculate the producer- and import price indices for commodities.

ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY

The sample contains 6400 prices from Danish manufacturers and importers. The most important enterprises within selected areas are requested to report prices. In this way it is ensured that the producer and import price index covers at least 70 percent of Danish production and imports. It is therefore assumed that price developments in the sample represents the price movements in the population.
