In Inflation: Core Inflation

Description

The Inflation package provides tools that allow its user to better understand core inflation.

The package provides a set of functions that compute the core inflation based on items that are part of an inflation index. Currently, the package allows for four different core inflation computations methods: trimmed means, exclusion, double weighting and triple filter. The first three are well known by the public. The latter is a method we developed that we believe is a better measure.

Note

The authors would like to thank the support by the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) and make it clear that all data in the package is in public domain. We reaffirm that Inflation is mainly intended for academic usage.
