Description
The International Price Program (IPP) Research Database contains a representative basket of items and prices of nonmilitary goods and air transportation services traded between the U.S. and the rest of the world. Approximately 20,000 prices are collected monthly and price changes for unique items are tracked over time. Unique items are retained in the basket for a set reference period and the basket is refreshed over time as new companies are introduced into the sample.
