Escalation Guide to Contracting Parties

http://www.bls.gov/ppi/ppiescalation.htm This site provides a guide in establishing future contract prices based on predictable price adjustments (escalations) either in contract pricing, or escalation clauses incorporated into contracts. The site cites a conservative estimate that contracts with a lifetime worth of $200 billion are currently escalated using the Producer Price Index (PPI)family of indexes, either alone or in conjuction with other sources of economic data.[1]
