This is the specific Wikipedia article Boskin Commission, covering the 1995-96 Advisory Commission to Study the Consumer Price Index chaired by Michael Boskin, which concluded that the Consumer Price Index overstated United States inflation by about 1.1 percentage points a year in 1996 and about 1.3 points before that, due to substitution, outlet substitution, quality change and new product biases identified in the fixed market basket methodology. It is distinct from the atlas own generic bare Wikipedia source entity, which stands for the encyclopedia as a whole rather than one article.
