Answer to Question 1
The first of three alternative price level is the chained CPI. The chained CPI is calculated in a similar manner as chained-dollar real GDP. The chained CPI overcomes the commodity substitution and new goods bias because it uses current as well as previous period quantities. The second alternative price level is the personal consumption expenditure deflator or PCE deflator. The PCE deflator is calculated from real and nominal consumption expenditure. The PCE deflator uses a broader basket of goods and services than the CPI and, similar to the chained CPI, is also calculated using a chained method. The third alternative is the GDP deflator. The GDP deflator is similar to the PCE deflator except the GDP deflator uses the prices from all the goods and services included in GDP.
