1 EUROPEAN COMMISSION EUROSTAT Directorate C: National Accounts, Prices and Key Indicators Unit C-4: Price statistics. Purchasing Power Parities. Housing statistics DETAILED AVERAGE PRICES REPORT August 2016 In 2016, Eurostat and the National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) have carried out the eighth and final project for the provision of data on price levels for a number of consumer goods and services. This is an extension to existing work on price statistics that includes the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) and Purchasing Power Parities (PPP). This project presents detailed average prices (DAP) for specific products as an additional set of price data. It is not a replacement for the measurement of inflation (HICP) or international price level comparisons (PPPs).

2 An analysis into the measurement of detailed average prices for consumer products 1. Introduction The Detailed Average Prices (DAP) project was developed in 2008 with the aim to supplement the existing price index statistics. The results of the DAP are used in the Consumer Markets Scoreboard (CMS) 1. Apart from providing the values, this report explains how the DAP were compiled and can be interpreted. It should be noted that the resulting average prices should only be regarded as indicative price levels. The reasons for this are given below in the text. 2. Methods 2.1. Product definition The present report is based on price data collected in 2015 for a set of consumer products. The products were specified using a reduced version of the PPP standard product definitions. In 2015, the NSIs in the EU Member States, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey were asked to provide DAP for a list of 193 products. These were selected because they were assumed to be both available and relevant (representative) in most countries. The product descriptions were based on recent PPP exercises. The choice of products was aimed at providing a wide variety of prices across product groups, including both goods and services. Product definition the example of TVs One difficult methodological choice is the description of the product, since product descriptions can be rather loose or rather tight. This can be best illustrated with the example of TVs. When defining the product television set, on the one hand, the price level can be defined as the average price of all kind of television sets. On the other hand, the product can be defined as a television set of a particular brand, having a number of characteristics; like screen-type, screen-size, or colour. When comparing prices for television sets across countries using the widest definition, the differences may be attributable to different characteristics of the devices. People in one country may spend small amounts buying small size televisions, while people in other countries may spend large amounts buying large HD-television sets. When comparing prices for television sets across countries using the tightest definition, the price difference for one specific television set does not imply that this price difference will occur for each 1) The CMS was published annually from 2008 to 2012, and every second year since then. The last edition of the CMS was published in

3 type of television. The tighter the product description is, the smaller is the share of the market covered by the price. To have an overview of the market, it is necessary to compare the prices of more television set products. Also the television set compared has different relevance in every country. This relevance depends on consumer preferences, producers' market shares, and other factors. In the PPP project, tight product descriptions were developed. In HICP, looser product descriptions are used aiming at comparing the same products within one outlet over time, but allowing differences of products across outlets. In the DAP project, pragmatic choices were made, based on product descriptions used in PPP, which aims at comparability of products across countries. However, in many cases PPP product descriptions were loosened in order to improve market coverage The definition of price levels The results show indicative price levels within the scope of the definitions used. Therefore the results should be interpreted as indicative price levels for the product included; they do not represent official national average prices. The indicative price levels are the averages of prices measured in the outlets selected for price observations. In every Member State, the products have been selected following the procedures of its NSI. In many cases the most popular product types were measured, often in the most popular outlets. The prices collected may be affected by special offers and seasonal sales. Short term consumer responses to changing market circumstances do not influence the resulting average price. If a special offer in one outlet induces a large number of consumers to buy that product in that outlet, this will affect the average price paid by consumers but not the average of the price offers collected. Detailed price levels were in many countries computed using an unweighted arithmetic average of the price observations. In some countries regional price observations were weighed using e.g. regional population figures Currencies All prices were provided in national currencies by the NSIs. For comparability reasons, they were all converted to euro prices. The exchange rates used for the countries that have not adopted the euro and provided monthly data (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Turkey) are average annual rates as published by Eurostat for The exchange rate used for the only country that does not use the euro and provided exclusively June data (Norway) is the average monthly rate as published by Eurostat for June The indicative prices may be influenced by short term fluctuations in exchange rates. The impact of the change in an exchange rate on the prices may depend on whether products were imported or produced locally, the tradability of products and other reasons. 3

Available data There are prices that are not available for several reasons, including the following: Low consumption level of the product or even non-availability that implied the product was not part of the sample. The observed product was not according to the specifications. Some national statistical institutes were not willing to supply data for publication, for various reasons, including considering the results insufficiently comparable Package size In the product descriptions a quantity and a reference quantity are given. The quantity gives the range of packages that were allowed for price comparison. The reference quantity gives the quantity to which the price was rescaled, often price per kilogram or litre, in order to make prices comparable. Nevertheless, the size of the package is an important characteristic since prices per unit for a small package are usually higher than prices per unit for a large package. Although ideally packages of the same size should be compared, there are often differences between Member States. The reasons are different sizes as the usual package, price collector choice, etc Comparability of results There are several factors that influence price differences and limit the comparability of the results, including the following: One product cannot represent the full market in all countries for the consumption segments involved. This means that the average price of e.g., a loaf of white bread may not be indicative of the price level of bread in general in a given country. Even if products are identical across countries, they may not have the same relevance for the consumers in the various countries. For example a product may be a market-leader in one, while at the same time being a niche product in another country. 4

5 The positions of the selected products on national markets may differ across countries even within the limits of the product description used. For example there may be differences in market situations of table wines between wine producing countries and countries that do not produce wine themselves. The outlet structure across countries may be different. For example price differences across countries for ice-cream could be related to differences in market and outlet structure (locally produced or sold in supermarkets). The outlet distribution in the samples at the individual product level need not be representative for the distribution of outlets where the product is actually sold. If prices for a product are observed mainly in supermarkets, average prices may be different from prices observed in specialist stores or open markets. The samples may cover only price for some types of brands and exclude some other brand levels. If the selection of brand levels for the same products differs across countries, this will influence comparability. Even within the boundaries of the product descriptions, quality differences may exist to a varying degree. An example of a product where these differences are very important is clothing and footwear. It is very difficult to ensure that prices for clothing and footwear products of comparable quality are measured across countries or are even available on the market Comparability over time When comparing the indicative price levels results over time they should be interpreted with great care. Only the HICP should be considered as the measure for European consumer inflation. The price differences may come from various reasons other than inflation: 3. Results The indicative price levels have been translated into euro price levels. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the prices of countries that are not members of the euro area. It is not possible to indicate in successive publications what the impact of quality change (different product description over time) may have been on the development of indicative price levels. Differences across time in the distribution of outlets may influence the differences in the indicative price levels. This is the eighth and final DAP project. The average prices have been published on Eurostat s website. In the first four projects ( ) countries reported June prices. Since 2012, the countries have been asked to report monthly prices. In 2015, fifteen countries reported monthly prices, three countries could only report June prices, and fourteen countries did not provide any data: 5

In addition to the methodological reasons for price differences explained in Section 2.6, there may be many other reasons including: Differences in taxes and excises. Differences in labour costs, particularly for locally produced goods and services, in distribution costs, rents or other retailers' costs. Differences in the tradability of products or competition, or in the general price level. Out of the 193 products for which prices were requested from national statistical institutes, 190 are entered in this report. Three products are not published because very few countries were able to supply price level data according to the product description. In many cases, the prices for products with some differences in specification were provided. If a country reported a price that corresponds to the product description as specified in the tables, the average price is entered into the table without further comment. If there are differences in the description that are considered as not too large, the price is entered into the table with a footnote specifying the difference. If the differences in product description are very significant, implying that the prices may not be broadly comparable, the price is not entered in the tables.

7 The tables with observed price levels are on the next pages. The following table gives a summary of the results of the exercise. Number of products entered in the project, and results, by COICOP division Requested 1 Food and non-alcoholic beverages Alcoholic beverages and tobacco Clothing and footwear Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels Furnishing, household equipment and routine maintenance of the house In publication Rejected Health Transports Communications Recreation and culture Education Restaurants and hotels Miscellaneous goods and services Conclusions after eight rounds of DAP Total One of the reasons to establish and develop the DAP project was the goal of a major integration of the HICP and PPPs, trying to deliver more detailed consumer prices data without risking the quality of the HICP and PPPs. The product descriptions in the project were based on product specifications used in PPP surveys but less detailed, while the price collection was meant to utilize the timeliness and frequency of HICP data collection. However, based on several reports completed by countries taking part in the DAP project, the integration between HICP and PPP in the context of product specification and data collection is not realistic in the near future. In the context of a policy review, the main user of DAP DG JUST, in charge of the Consumer Markets Scoreboard has conducted an analysis on price disparity in EU28 using PPP-PLIs (price level indices) in order to assess whether it would be possible to do without DAP in the future. The conclusion is that valid analyses can be performed using essentially PPP-PLIs data at different aggregation levels. In that sense, alternatives other than the DAP project are available for the analysis of price dispersion/price convergence. Considering the limitations of the comparability of the results (see 2.6 and 2.7), the existence of other data alternatives for the main user of DAP and the slow decrease of the number of countries taking part in the project, it was decided that this would be the last exercise and the project will be discontinued in the future. 7
