If you can actually determine the effect that hedonic pricing models have on GDP and CPI without using the complex econometric tools that the BLS uses, you're an amazing man. I suspect that what you are actually doing is ball-parking it based on your own intuitive grasp of the data. Not that there's anything wrong with using your own intuitive grasp of the data or ballparking your conclusions. If you actually are using the statistical models they use and inputting the actual data they use then I apologize. Message 15597857
