hey zac, i'm a total noob at this stuff, but i'm wondering if you could please tell me if its possible to find the use of the "underlying" technique, but applied to non-tradables inflation? because i thought this might be a good to judge what impact government spending has had, but i do wan't it to remove the items that rose the highest (as unrepresentative). also, do you think an underlying, seasonally-adjusted non-tradables inflation rate is something that would be useful?
