What Level of economic growth in consumer price index?
Ok to begin with that question makes no sense, the reason being the definition of the CPI ( consumer price index ) is as follows... CPI = is a measure of the cost of goods & services purchased by the consumer over a period of one year and is determined by the change in the price levels of a specific basket of goods. e.g. clothes and computers. It is calculated on a "base average" and usually starts in a year where the general price levels is constant i.e. a base year, represented by 100; as subsequent years pass, the CPI may either rise or fall as a result of either the price of the basket of goods either rise or fall. In essence CPI is a means of calculating the inflation rate of goods the individual consumes over a period of time ! ECONOMIC GROWTH = a sustained increase in real GDP per capita; Therefore according to economic theory as econ growth takes place inflation ( CPI ) will increase. In conclusion for econ growth to take place there must be some level of inflation, However Inflation is occurring it need not necessarily be accompanied by economic growth ! Vax.

What effects does inflation have on the purchasing power of the dollar?
If inflation occurs, the value of the dollar will decrease. This is because the amount of goods that the dollar can buy now becomes less. Inflation is measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They take a "basket" of goods and record the prices of each of the goods. The basket contains items such as food and clothes that all consumers would purchase. This is then transformed in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This is how you are able to see how much a dollar is worth compared to other years.
