Bus/Financial - Economics
English term or phrase: mis-measure
There has been much recent interest in the extent to which official price indices
may mis-measure the true rate of inflation. This has been particularly so for the
Consumer Price Index in the US, where a study of the possible sources of bias
was commissioned, with a report of the findings, the Boskin Report, published in
19961.

agree  Refugio: I think you are right, especially since bias is implied. It is not a true measuring, but rather an estimate based on data carefully chosen to mislead. Maybe 'estimar engañosamente'.
