Footnotes

*

The author, also a member of the associated staff of the Brookings Institution, extends his thanks to Molly Wainer for assistance with the construction comparisons for 1968. He is also grateful to the researchers of the ECIEL member institutes in the Price and Economic Policy Working Group (see appendix), without whose collaboration this note would not have been possible. Among them, the cooperation of Jorge Kingston of the Fundação Getulio Vargas, who coordinated the construction comparisons, is especially acknowledged. None of them, however, is responsible for any defects remaining in this note. This study was partly supported by the Ford Foundation.
