| Abstract: | This report presents two approaches to measuring inflation for public libraries: (1) an approach based on a fixed-market-basket (FMB) of the prices of library inputs, which yields a public library input cost index (PLICI), and (2) an approach based on an econometric model of library services and costs, which yields a public library cost of services index (PLCSI). The PLICI represents essentially a weighted average of the series of public library input prices, while the PLCSI places emphasis on the cost of producing library services. Contains the following chapters: Chapter 1 "Introduction"; Chapter 2 "Conceptual Framework" which describes the PLICI and the PLCSI approaches in some detail. Chapter 3 "Empirical Analysis of a Public Library Input Cost Index" offers an empirical analysis of the PLICI, including an analysis of budget shares and input cost series. Chapter 4 "Empirical Analysis of Public Library Operating Expenditures and Development of the Public Library Cost of Services Index" presents the PLCSI. Chapter 5 "Concluding Remarks" concludes the report by comparing the inflation index derived from the PLCSI with that from the PLICI and suggests ways of improving the public library indexes. Thirty-two tables and indexes present statistics. A glossary is provided. Appendices include technical notes, various descriptive statistics and parameter estimates for the variables used in the regression analysis, and standard errors. (AEF) |
