Some Price Indexes for Quebec and Montreal (1760-1913)
|
| Abstract |
The authors argue that the study of price trends is of paramount importance to understand the socio-economies of the pre-industrial real income, real production, and real wealth for the century before Confederation. They study the price indexes for Quebec City and Montreal from 1761 to 1867. In the case of Quebec City, these indexes are drawn from the data for twenty products over 106 years, while for Montreal (where sources are more limited) they are based on data for ten products over 101 years. They extended the series of price indexes for Quebec to 1913 by splicing it with Humfrey Michell's price indexes for the latter part of the nineteenth century.
