A novel approach to price indices, leading to an innovative solution in both a multi-period or a multilateral framework, is presented. The index turns out to be the generalized least squares solution of a regression model linking values and quantities of the commodities. The index reference basket, which is the union of the intersections of the baskets of all country/period taken in pair, has a coverage broader than extant indices. The properties of the index are investigated and updating formulas established. Applications to both real and simulated data provide evidence of the better index performance in comparison with extant alternatives.
