Globalize date December 2010 A cost of funds index or COFI is a regional average of interest expenses incurred by financial institutions, which in turn is used as a base for calculating variable rate loans. The interest rate on an adjustable rate mortgage , for example, is often linked to a regional COFI specified in the particular loan documents. COFIs, in turn, are usually calculated by a self regulatory agency like Federal Home Loan Banks . In California, for example, many home mortgage loan s are indexed to the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. Interest rates on COFI loans and mortgages tend to fluctuate more slowly than variable rate loans linked to other indexes.

unref date March 2007 The employment costindex ECI is a quarterly economic series detailing the changes in the costs of labor for businesses in the United States economy. The ECI is prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics BLS , in the U.S. Department of Labor . Applications It is a widely watched series by the financial sector, yet the ECI gets less press coverage than the more commonly quoted consumer price index CPI , which is also prepared by the BLS. While the CPI is a measure of inflation in consumer prices, the ECI is vital in that it gives an indication of whether employment cost changes are rising or falling, thus measuring inflation of wages, and employer paid benefits. Former United States Federal Reserve Chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan said of the ECI, The Employment CostIndex is indispensable to understanding America s economy. It ensures the accuracy of the statistics on employers compensation costs that we rely on for economic policy making and for successful business planning. In making decisions to adjust the prime interest rate , the Federal Reserve often cites shifts in the ECI as having an effect on their decision making process. The index is also used in determining annual US government employee salary adjustments through across the board General Schedule adjustments.

Orphan date February 2009 A cost weighted activity index is a technique for measuring the changes in the output of an organisation over time. It is used particularly for Government departments and other bodies that do not operate in a market, hence normal means of measuring output cannot be used. Following work by Michael Baxter and Alwyn Pritchard , the technique is being used increasingly by the Office for National Statistics in the United Kingdom , the Australian Bureau of Statistics and many other statistical offices, in preference to the traditional method of equating output to input i.e. number of staff employed plus volume of input . The traditional method is much easier to use, but has the disadvantage that it cannot measure changes in efficiency. The procedure is as follows the activities of the organisation are divided into homogeneous categories. The cost of each category and the level of activity in the base year are determined. The level of activity is then measured in a subsequent year, and the percentage changes are weighted together by the costs in the base year to get an overall percentage change in output. The mathematics of the calculation are identical to those for calculating any index number, such as a price index . Example Consider a prison, which in 2000 housed 20 low risk, 30 medium risk and 10 high risk prisoners, or 60 prisoners in total. The three categories are considered homogeneous, in that the output of housing one low risk prisoner is the same as housing another. The total costs in 2000 are 20,000 for low risk, 45,000 for medium risk and 25,000 for high risk prisoners, or 90,000 in total. In 2005, there are 22, 27 and 15 prisoners in these categories ... has risen. This is a Laspeyres index , because it is base weighted.
