About the statistics

The information under «About the statistics» was last updated 7 October 2024.

A chained Young formula is used in the production of the index. This is a version of a Laspeyres formula. A Laspeyres formula is characterised by constant weights for a given time period. A chained Laspeyres index is an index made up by several Laspeyres indices with various weights.

The Norwegian market is a joint description of all goods produced and purchased in Norway. Price regarding sales to the Norwegian market is defined ab fabric (ex works) and should refer to the sales price out of the factory on the 15th of the month.

The import market refers to goods produced outside Norway, purchased by Norwegian firms. Prices are measured CIF (cost, insurance, freight) at the national border.

Imputed value is the estimated value where observations are missing.

The elementary level is the lowest level in which indices are computed, the level below the lowest level in which weights are used. In the PIF the elementary level is the HS product.

The weight share is the share of the HS product in the total index.
