Producer prices of industrial products – selected price indices fort he Federal Republic of Germany, 1949 to 2005.

This data collection presents a summary of selected producer prices of industrial products in the form of long-term overviews. The statistics of the producer prices of industrial products is, as well as the overall official price statistics, focused on the detection of changes in price. Therefore, their main findings are price indices and not average prices. The "index of producer prices for industrial products" measures on a representative basis the average development of effective selling prices of the mining and manufacturing as well as energy and water produced goods, sold on the domestic market (hence the additional term "domestic sales/Inlandsabsatz"). The index of producer prices for industrial products is calculated and published not only as a single row, but also for a large number of commodity groups on different aggregation levels. The applied structural principles of this calculation are since 1985 the so called “Systematic Nomenclature of Commodities for the Production Statistics / Systematisches Güterverzeichnis für die Produktionsstatistik”, to which also the description of the various index positions corresponds. This systematic replaced the older "Systematic of commodities for the industry statistics (WI) of the base years 1976 and 1980.
