Readme for PCE data
Brendan Price
July 29, 2014

The file pce.dta contains the Personal Consumption Expenditures chain-type price index, downloaded from http://www.gpoaccess.gov/eop/2012/B3.xls on May 2, 2013. I have renormalized the series to equal unity in 2007.

We provide these files solely for the purpose of facilitating replication of the present paper. If you wish to use the PCE data in your own research, please download fresh extracts from the NBER website to ensure that you have the latest version of the data.
