|
Weights defined in terms of physical quantities such as the number or total weight of goods or the number of services. Quantity weights are only feasible at the detailed product level because meaningful aggregation of product weights requires of them to be commensurate.
|
| Context: |
A term sometimes used to describe the quantities in the basket. However, expenditures rather than quantities act as weights for price relatives.
