Central collection is used for major retailers with central pricing policy and for mail order catalogues. Decisions about the absolute borders of coverage are based on practical and policy considerations. The majority of CPIs in OECD Member countries and HICPs abide by the domestic concept, i.e. expenditure by residents while abroad is excluded and expenditure by foreign visitors is included. This is consistent with the concept of domestic inflation. On the other hand, national accounts deflators should have the same concept as household final consumption expenditure (HFCE), i.e. including expenditure by residents while at home and abroad, and excluding expenditure by foreign visitors to the domestic territory. This is known as the national concept, and is conceptually consistent with a compensation index. Household budget surveys (HBSs) may or may not record expenditure of residents while abroad, and do not record expenditure by foreign visitors. In theory, a compensation index should take account of the expenditure of residents while abroad, particularly where cross-border shopping and consumption on holidays abroad are significant, although measuring prices abroad may not prove simple in practice. |
