ComparabilityInflation baskets and base periods differ: Compare growth rates or normalized indexes, and prefer the same concept family when comparing countries or providers.Real, nominal, and chain measures are not interchangeable: Use real growth for cycle analysis, nominal levels for revenue/size questions, and PPP or per-capita variants for welfare comparisons.Seasonal-adjustment status needs attention: Prefer same-adjustment comparisons, or transform to year-over-year changes before cross-series comparison.
