Description
The eight tables presented in this article are updated versions of the eight tables that were presented in publications by this author that contained calculations through 1999 [Ireland, 2000] and updates through 2001 [Ireland, 2000-01] and 2003 [Ireland, 2002]. A basic rule for all calculations provided in this series has been that the data in making the calculations must come from the Economic Report of the President (henceforth ERP). Tables 1-4 now begin with 1956 and end with 2005, allowing 50 year comparisons to be made between various discount rates and both the CPI (Consumer Price Index) and the MCPI (Medical Consumer Price Index). Tables 5-8 begin with 1965 and end with 2005, allowing 40 year comparisons to be made between various discount rates and Average Weekly Earnings for all American workers.
