Austin,
Thanks for the quick reply. So then I would have to divide all values for all years other than 2000 by this constant, correct?

Art Gibb <[email protected]>:
There is -cpigen- on SSC which I note is sadly out of date--I will
update it shortly.
You can also do:
ssc inst freduse
mata mata mlib index
freduse CPIAUCNS, clear
su CPIAUCNS if year(daten)==2000
g cpi2000=CPIAUCNS/r(mean)
su cpi2000 if year(daten)==2009
to find that the CPI-U was 1.245859 times higher in 2009 than in 2000.
