Description: The Billion Prices Project monitors the daily price fluctuations of millions of items sold by hundreds of online retailers in more than 70 countries. The Billion Prices Project (BPP) then uses those data to conduct economic research into pricing and sales behavior; asset prices, inflation, and real exchange rate; pass through (how much do prices adjust internally with changes to the exchange rate, or the international price of commodities?); and green markups (what premium is paid in stores for "environmentally friendly" or "organic" products?). BPP freely offers inflation maps and indexes of real-time information on major inflation trends; in particular, graphs of daily online price indices, monthly inflation, or annual inflation of over a dozen countries. Read BPP's methodology, research, and blog postings that date back to November, 2010.
