The cpi goes from year 1998-2010 with year 2006 as the base year. year RoA cpi id country 98 11.114 87 1 sweden 99 4.902 88 1 sweden 00 4.669 90 1 sweden 01 6.603 . 1 sweden 02 -.005 92 1 sweden 03 3.064 94 1 sweden 04 -25.963 95 1 sweden 05 25.699 97 1 sweden 06 0 100 1 sweden 07 0 102 1 sweden 08 0 104 1 sweden 09 0 108 1 sweden My question is the following: I would like to adjust the RoA to the year 2009 price level.
