Contract adjustment. PPI data are commonly used in adjusting purchase and sales contracts. These contracts typically specify dollar amounts to be paid at some point in the future. It is often desirable to include an adjustment clause that accounts for changes in input prices. For example, a long-term contract for bread may be adjusted for changes in wheat prices by applying the percent change in the PPI for wheat to the contracted price for bread. (See Price Adjustment Guide for Contracting Parties.)
Indicator of overall price movement at the producer level. PPIs capture price movement prior to the retail level. Therefore, they may foreshadow subsequent price changes for business and consumers. The President, Congress, and the Federal Reserve employ these data in formulating fiscal and monetary policies.
Deflator of other economic series. PPIs are used to adjust other time series for price changes and to translate those series into inflation-free dollars. For example, constant-dollar gross domestic product data are estimated using deflators based on the PPI.
Measure of price movement for particular industries and products.

<h2>domino theory and the policy of containment.</h2>
"Domino theory" was applied in justifying US involvement in the Vietnam War. Domino theory said that the spread of communism in Vietnam would result in other countries in the region falling like dominoes to the influence of communism.
Domino theory was a corollary to the overall policy of containment that developed as the United States' policy regarding communism after the end of World War II. George F. Kennan is known for recommending the policy of containment, which said that the best way to deal with the threat of communism was simply to try to keep it contained to the places where it already existed.
