There is a strong antipathy on the SI boards to the hedonic regression method of computing price indices. I happen to think that this method is in the right direction and probably should be applied more broadly across the different categories of goods in the index. On the other hand I have read some stuff on owner's equivalent rent which was a bit disturbing - surveying home owners on what their house would rent for? Seems to me most wouldn't have a clue.

But I am an economics professor - and though I am often skeptical of some mainstream economics of course I find this stuff more reasonable than most people think.

There is a broader antipathy to mainstream economics in general on SI and many favor the so called Austrian School.
