CPM, which stands for Cost-Per-Mille (Mille is Latin for âthousandâ), is when the price is based on 1,000 impressions.
What causes inflation is also a key argument in economic theory. Some economists believe that there are different types of inflation â cost-push and demand-pull inflation. Cost-push inflation is supposed to be a type of inflation caused by rising prices in goods or services with no suitable alternatives. An oft-cited example of this inflation is the oil crisis of the 1970s.
Inflation is the change in the price level from one year to the next. The change in inflation can be calculated by using whatever price index is most applicable to the given situation. The two most common price indices used in calculating inflation are CPI and the GDP deflator. Know, though, that the inflation rates derived from different price indices will themselves be different.
