Improvements in quality and productivity are more likely to be associated with small firms on the technical frontier rather than larger, more established firms whose sales levels make them more likely candidates for inclusion in a price index. � Most components included in the index are more likely to affect more traditional forms of computing than innovative applications using the newest systems.
