Introduction
Webscraped online data offers potential for very timely and high-frequency price measurement
But online data lacks characteristics and quantities
The fixed-effects window-splice (FEWS) index produces fully quality-adjusted non-revisable indexes despite no characteristics
We simulate the effect of no quantities using scanner data for consumer electronics and supermarket products

The FEWS indexThe FE (aka ‘time-product dummy’) index is equivalent to a fully-interacted time-dummy hedonic index when characteristics are expressed as categorical (Krsinich, 2014)

The FEWS indexNew products need at least two observations to be non-trivially included in the FE index.The window-splice enables implicit revision of the index to reflect new products (and update estimates of fixed-effects)

ConclusionMuch potential from online data, but no characterisics or quantities
FEWS index can produce quality-adjusted indexes despite no characteristics
The effect of quantities varies but not significant for many of the products tested
Potential for using online data in official statistics via a hybrid approach – calibration to less-timely official measures
