Reinsdorf-Balk Transformationand Additive Decomposition of Indexes I. Introduction II. Reinsdorf-Balk Transformation III. Additive Decompositions of Fisher Index IV. Additive Decomposition of Chain Indexes V. Numerical Illustrations (skip) VI. Concluding Remarks Ki-Hong Choi(NPRI) and Hak K. Pyo(SNU)
I. Introduction • Arithmetic mean index and decomposition of growth rate arithmetic mean index decomposition in %-change • Geometric mean index and decomposition of growth rate geometric mean index decomposition in log-change
II. Reinsdorf-Balk Transformation • Literature Reinsdorf(1997, 2002), Balk(1999, 2004) Kohli(2007), “Truly remarkable” • Some need for improvements • Reinsdorf’s proof is hard to follow. • Though Balk’s proof is easy and clear, there is a better alternative.
Balk’s Identity: from A index to G index Reinsdorf’s Identity: from G index to A index
III. Additive Decompositions of Fisher Index • Conventional Decompositions • Decomposition in % changes van IJzeren(1952)=Dumagan(2002)=Ehemann et al(2002)
Decomposition in log-changes Reinsdorf(1997), Reinsdorf et al(2002), Balk(2004) Less satisfactory decomposition by Vartia(1976)
New Decompositions Decomposition in % changes Reinsdorf et al.(2002), applying Reinsdorf identity to the geometric mean version of Fisher index.
Decomposition in log-changes • Applying Balk’s identity to the van IJzeren form of Fisher index
IV. Additive Decomposition of Chain Indexes • Difficulty with additive decomposition of cumulative (compound) growth rates of chain indexes • Cumulative growth rates is decomposable in log-changes • But decomposition in log-change is not good since it deviates from %-changes
VI. Concluding remarks • R-B transformation is interesting since it makes arithmetic mean and geometric mean indexes interchangeable. • R-B transformation is useful since it can provide an additive decomposition of cumulative growth rates by chain indexes. Thank you!
