US consumer prices data 2017-18 for sub-national CPI-U calculations using TiPRD model and R implementation
Description
This data is a portion of a larger dataset, composed by over 120 million data points, collected by Starsift LLC for the Grocerybear Project (www.grocerybear.com) every day between January 2017 and May 2018 for over 50,000 unique items in about 750 commercial categories for eleven US cities: Boise, Honolulu, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington DC.

Each file presents the following columns: Year, Month, Product name, Product code, City, Store Chain, Average price in the month. Store chains have been anonymized. This project also includes an R file to calculate sub-national consumer price indexes using the Time-interaction-Region Product Dummy (TiRPD) model.
