It is now 14 months since the Bank of Canada published a research paper by Patrick Sabourin and Pierre Duguay, “Measuring Durable Goods Prices and Housing Prices in the CPI”,which claimed that “Eurostat is currently conducting a pilot study for the euro area based on the net acquisition approach”. In fact, if one looks at the price indices on the Eurostat website, quarterly OOHPI series (price indices for owner-occupied housing) are published from 2005Q1 forward for some 26 countries. (Eurostat just published its 2016Q3 update today.)Technically, under EC regl. 93/2013 all of the 28 EU member states plus two out of the three EEA member states, Iceland and Norway, not part of the EU, are supposed to provide these series on a quarterly basis. Unfortunately, the Eurostat tables still exclude Croatia, Greece and Iceland, while the Netherlands is shown but its data is confidential in all quarters.
