Resumo
The present work aims to revise the historical antecedents of the research of one of the tools
more used and published in economical studies in world: the price indexes. It was observed
that the volume of works, discussions and studies of the theory of price indexes in elapsing of
the time, besides illustrating the importance of the subject, it allowed the constant
improvement of the calculation methods and the defense of different points of views, taking
besides to the division of your theoretical body in some main lines or research currents. The
history of the research has their first registrations in the beginning of the century XVIII, it
grows under several focuses and still gets rich more starting from the century XX. Those
focuses gradually helped to form the three more important approaches of the price index
theory, such as they are represented in the current literature: the "statistical approach", the
"axiomatic approach" and the "economical approach". In spite of the division, certain
complementarity is observed since the practical elaboration of price indexes uses concepts
related to the three approaches in an integrated way, depending on each stage of your
elaboration.
