Geometric Mean Index

The statistical Index

\begin{displaymath}
P_G\equiv \left[{\prod \left({p_n\over p_0}\right)^{v_0}}\right]^{1/\Sigma v_0},
\end{displaymath}

where $p_n$ is the price per unit in period $n$, $q_n$ is the quantity produced in period $n$, and $v_n\equiv p_nq_n$ the value of the $n$ units.
