Fisher's index satisfies the time reversal test.

The time reversal test requires P01×P10=1P_{01} \times P_{10} = 1 (ignoring the factor 100). Laspeyre's and Paasche's indices individually fail this test. Fisher's ideal index, being the geometric mean of the two,

P01F=P01L×P01P,P_{01}^{F} = \sqrt{P_{01}^{L}\times P_{01}^{P}},
