Glossary of the 1993 SNA - Definition of Term

TermTime reversal test
DefinitionThe time reversal test requires that the index for the later period based on the earlier period should be the reciprocal of that for the earlier period based on the later period; one of the desirable features of the “Fisher Ideal” price and volume indexes is that they satisfy this test (unlike either the Paasche or Laspeyres indexes).
Paragraphs16.24.
 
It is acknowledged that this glossary uses descriptions of the OECD glossary of statistical terms, the Glossary of the System of National Accounts 1993 and the UN classifications registry.
