Prices are supplied by the Faxon Company. The indexing base is 1983.In the 17-year period iron 1983-2000 the average price of titles in the combined core and adjunct core lists rose from $100.37 to $561.71. The price index rose almost 460 percentage points, an average annual increase of 27.04%. The average price of titles in the core list rose from $69.07 to $312.53. The price index in this category rose 352 percentage points, an average of 20.73% per year. The average price of the 85 titles on the adjunct core list was $131.30 in 1983 and $807.95 in 2000. The price index in this category rose 515.35 percentage points, an average of 30.31% per year.The 18 selected abstract, and index titles in this same 17-year period increased in average price from $618.74 in 1983 to $2,514.50 in 2000.
