Cost of Shelter is included in CPI
Огромное спасибо за ссылку...
Как я и говорил, "The CPI does not include investment items, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and life insurance. (These items relate to savings and not to day-to-day consumption expenses.) "
То есть цены на недвижимость не входят в CPI.
А рент - это вообще другое.
Кстати, в связи с этим становятся понятны утверждения о том, что штатовский GDP - вранье полное.
IMO, the phrase "CPI does not include investment items ... " means that if you by shares of real
estate fund or a stake in commertial properties or real estate backed bonds, or even a house
then you are playing as investor and not as consumer and the inflation on related items
should not be taken in CPI.
I think it is correct to qualify these as investments/savings.
On the countrary the cost of shelter is a variable that is taken into account.
