Definition

A price level is a hypothetical measure of overall prices for some set of goods and services, in a given region during a given interval, normalized relative to some base set.

Price levels are the theoretical conception that aim to relate as well as distinguish between nominal measures and real measures.

A price level is typically measured by means of a price index such as a consumer price index.
