Abstract:
The relevance of the problem under consideration is due to the really increased demand for justice, honesty and truthfulness, which is the result of the increase in the political and economic literacy of the non-elite population of the country, as a positive external effect (usefulness) of the maximum disappointment with the inadequate, untrue presentation of economic reality by officials of all levels, the media broadcasting to a multimillion audience the indicators constructed by the official statistical agency (Rosstat). The slowdown in the growth rate of household incomes and the virtually unchecked increase in the prices of mass consumer goods, carefully concealed by Rosstat, make it very useful to turn to independent statistical sources. Their indicators are strikingly different from the official ones. It is impossible to reconcile the asymmetry of information about inflation indicators due to the different methodologies of their calculation, one of which is clearly erroneous. The purpose of the study is, first, to identify the significant apocryphal nature of the official inflation rate and, accordingly, the level of indexation of household incomes, as well as the level of poverty, and, second, to substantiate more reliable and truthful algorithms for determining the level of real inflation, indexation of household incomes, and the level of poverty. The article achieves the set goals in the format of constructed symbolic models of certain spectra (verbal descriptions, logical tables, and formulas), in strict accordance with the basic principles of the modern philosophy of logical neo-positivism and the philosophy of the modern economic mainstream. The materials of the article are addressed to students, postgraduates, researchers and the vast majority of the non-elite population of Russia.
Keywords: statistics, ambivalence, inflation, indexing, seigniorage, methodology, income, money purchasing power index
