I came across this reference in an article I read recently. May not answer your exact question.
Williams and Schmidt, "Determining the Average Cost of a Book for Allocation Formulas: Comparing Options" Library Resources & Technical Services Jan2008, Vol. 52 Issue 1, p60-70.
The commentary in the article I read (not in the one referenced above) said it was easier to do a local determination than to try to use an industry standardized number.
Sounds like there is a gap in the research, waiting for you to fill it.
All the best,

Subject: [ACQNET-L] Monograph inflation
I can easily find studies and article after article about inflation in serials pricing. I'm having a MUCH harder time finding anything published about monographs inflation, unless it's about textbook prices and student consumers. Does anyone know of studies done about monograph pricing inflation in the past 5/10/15 years?
