Abstract: In 1982 the Netherlands Central Bureau of Statistics published time-series of private consumption expenditure and price index numbers for 106 consumer goods and services for the Netherlands over the period 1951–1977. Recently, new series have become available, with a slightly different classification of 99 consumer goods and services. These series range over the years 1948–1988. Additionally, they have been linked to the series which were published by Barten for 98 consumer goods and services over the period 1921–1939 on an aggregation level of 25 groups of goods and services.
