Consumer Price Index\n\n"In economics, a Consumer Price Index (CPI, also retail price index) is a statistical measure of a weighted average of prices of a specified set of goods and services purchased by wage earners in urban areas. It is a price index which tracks the prices of a specified set of consumer goods and services, providing a measure of inflation. The CPI is a fixed quantity price index and a sort of cost-of-living index."

The Standard of living refers to the quality and quantity of goods and services available to people. It is generally measured by real (i.e. inflation adjusted) income per person, although sometimes other measures may be used; examples are access to certain goods (such as number of refrigerators per 1000 people), or measures of health such as life expectancy.

Its hard to tell for now because its still 2006, but at the end of the year you can use this link to calculate inflation.\n\nhttp://www.westegg.com/inflation/

based on supply and demand.  Too detailed to explain in a q&a.  If you're in school, take a finance and economics class.

That all depends on what index you use. From December 2004 to December 2005, there was a 3.4% increase in the consumer price index. Whether or not that accurately reflects cost of living, I leave to you to decide.

It depends where you are in the world. In the UK I believe it is between 3 - 4 %. Not sure what inflation is like else where.

markets do mainly though some foreign countries/cartels such as Venezuela/OPEC have a lot of say. Economics still out as if price too high people use less. Supply & demand

False: the CPI is (at least supposedly) a measure of the inflation rate. It has been at or about 3% since it has been calculated.\n\nThe "supposedly" is to point out that many economists believe that the CPI is a flawed measure of the actual inflation rate, as it overstates the actual amount of inflation for most goods. The GDP deflator has been suggested as an alternative, but it tends to understate inflation, so a better alternative would likely be a retooled CPI.

In marketting thats playing on the consumer's psychie. A product told to you worth 199 Rs./$ sounds much cheapey than something worth 200 Rs./$. Thats because there is a sudden change in the first digit of the value; and one would always be less than 2. Hence the play of a consumers' psychology. And it really affects the sales. I'm sure somebody morethan anybody else telling you , you would be able to analyse it for yourself when u undergo a simmilar situation.

In economics, inflation is an increase in the money supply or an increase in prices.\n\nThe two most obvious versions of this, each held by some economists to be "real" inflation, are for prices of goods and services in the currency in question to rise, or for the money supply to increase.\n\nPrice inflation is closely akin to "cost of living" measurement, where a "basket" of goods, and comparing the prices at two intervals, and adjusting for changes in the intrinsic basket. But, technically, this is not raw inflation; it is an attempt to determine real-life value of money compared to the members of the society in question, adding other factors like increased expectations.\n\nRaw inflation measurement does not adjust for expectations, but directly measures the change in the price of goods.\n\nThere are different measurements of price inflation, depending on the basket of goods selected. The most common measures are of consumer inflation, producer inflation and GDP deflators, or price indexes. The last measures inflation in the entire economy.\n\nGeneral price inflation is a fall in the purchasing power of money within an economy, as compared to currency devaluation which is the fall of the market value of a currency between economies. The extent to which these two phenomena are related is open to economic debate, though the comparison of a currency to foreign currencies is based on investor demand for currencies, and therefore must at least partially be a matter of perception.\n\nBoth of these are often caused by money being added to an economy, either as printed currency or as virtual money lent to banks or other entities. This is called currency inflation, and can cause price inflation or currency devaluation. But, because the general amount of wealth gradually changes in an economy (as long-lasting things are created, new technologies invented, et cetera), a small amount of currency inflation need not cause price inflation.\n\nSome terms related to inflation:\n\ndeflation is a rise in the purchasing power of money, and a corresponding lowering of prices (the opposite of inflation). \nDisinflation refers to slowing the rate of inflation, that is, prices are still rising, but at a slower rate than before. \nReflation is a term used to denote inflation after a period of deflation, meaning inflation designed to restore prices to a previous level. \nHyperinflation is rapid inflation without any tendency towards equilibrium - that is, an inflation that produces even more inflation. \nIn some contexts the word "inflation" is used to mean an increase in the money supply, which is seen as a cause of price increases. Some economists (of the Austrian school) still prefer this meaning of the term, rather than to mean the price increases themselves. Thus, for example, some observers refer to inflation in the 1920s in the United States even though the prices of some baskets of goods were not increasing at the time. The word "inflation" will be used to refer to a general increase in prices unless otherwise specified.\n\n\nEconomic role\n\nOne effect of small steady inflation is that it is difficult to renegotiate some prices, and particularly wages and contracts, downwards, so that with generally increasing prices it is easier for relative prices to adjust. Many prices are "sticky downward" and tend to creep upward, so that efforts to attain a zero inflation rate (a constant price level) punish other sectors with falling prices, profits, and employment. Thus, some business executives see mild inflation as "greasing the wheels of commerce". Efforts to attain complete price stability can also lead to deflation (steadily falling prices), which can be very destructive, risking bankruptcy for companies that do not react, ultimately resulting in recession (or even depression).\n\nMany in the financial community regard the "hidden risk" of inflation as an essential i

Market force is where demand and supply in the market interact to affect prices.
