Новый мир индексов. Полный справочник по измерениям в демографии, социологии, экономике и других сферах жизни

Familiar methods of assessing the economy, such as GDP analysis and inflation rates, are standard and time-tested. However, market trends can manifest through unusual and alternative indicators: the Big Mac index, the "Coffee with Milk" index, or even the "Pyaterochka"... index. Before you is the widest overview of all sorts of indices and rankings. For convenience, all indices are divided into groups and placed in corresponding chapters. The concluding chapter presents indices created in Russia, many of which are aligned with the international measurement system. However, there are also unique domestic indices that have no analogues in the world. The authors introduce us to the modern world of indices, suggesting we explore current global trends and understand the laws by which our lives will be constructed tomorrow.
