Generalized Theil-Tornqvist Indices with Applications to International Comparisons of Prices and Real Output
介绍了泰尔-托恩奎斯特指数的多种广义形式，用于多边空间比较，并利用国际消费支出和制造业产出数据展示了新指数的适用性。
The Theil-Tornqvist index number is widely used for binary comparisons of prices, output and productivity. This paper describes various generalizations of the Theil-Tornqvist index for purposes of multilateral spatial comparisons due to Caves, Christensen and Diewert, and more recent further generalizations due to Prasada Rao and Selvanathan based on the ''stochastic approach'' to index numbers. The applicability of the new index numbers is demonstrated using international comparison data on private consumption expenditure and manufacturing sector output.
