Dollars which express the cost of items in
terms of the year in which the expenditure occurs.
Dollars of a particular base year, which are
not adjusted (by inflation or deflation) to show changes in the purchasing
power of the dollar. The Consumer Price Index was used to calculate constant
dollars over a base year of 2008 (2008=100). Note that historical
constant dollar data are revised each year as the base year for calculation
changes annually.
