Economics Homework Help

I’m studying for my Macro Economics class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Most recently, in March 2017 Britain’s statistics office introduced a new headline measure of inflation, the “consumer-prices index including owner-occupiers’ housing costs” (CPIH), which includes the specific costs of owning a home, such as mortgages and estate agents’ fees (The Economist Explains, 2017).

CPIH may be ultra-sophisticated (statistical agencies in other countries struggle to incorporate housing costs), but like all inflation measures it remains an imperfect measure of changes to Britain’s living standards.

For your initial discussion post, respond to the following prompts:
