This paper discusses the main uses of trade indices and the data sources used to compile them. It also presents various approaches used to compile foreign trade price indices, addresses various problems encountered in developing these indices, and provides some recommendations on how to address them Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 58-59) Notes Master and use copy.
