Abstract

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) collects data for a variety of economic indicators. To make data collection more efficient, BLS has been developing Computer-Assisted Data Collection (CADC) instruments for many of these indicators. We recently deployed a CADC instrument for the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI is the most widely used measure of inflation and a leading economic indicator in the U.S. This paper describes the development process we used and how we overcame the challenges we faced.
