<So, if the addition of speed dial as a standard feature means that one is "getting more for the same nominal dollars," then in what sense is this true? On average? How is the value of it measured?> Yes, agreed. <Some improvements are certainly less subjective, such as the innovation of anti-lock brakes, for example. In such a case, the incidence of fatality and property damage can be measured more objectively. > Agreed, but even then, wouldn't that increased productivity in the economy ALREADY be measured and taken into account in the government numbers? So nicer seats=less back problems= more efficient worker with less sick days = higher productivity per worker..... why the need to then go back and lower the real price on that vehicle ceterus paribas?
