Zusammenfassung: | Economic policies are often judged by a handful of statistics, some of which may be biased during periods of change. We estimate the income growth implied by the evolution of food demand and durable good ownership in post-reform Brazil and Mexico, and find that changes in consumption patterns are inconsistent with official estimates of near stagnant incomes. That is attributed to biases in the price deflator. The estimated unmeasured income gains are higher for poorer households, implying marked reductions in ""real"" inequality. These findings challenge the conventional wisdom that post-reform income growth was low and did not benefit the poor |

We estimate the income growth implied by the evolution of food demand and durable good ownership in post-reform Brazil and Mexico, and find that changes in consumption patterns are inconsistent with official estimates of near stagnant incomes. That is attributed to biases in the price deflator. The estimated unmeasured income gains are higher for poorer households, implying marked reductions in ""real"" inequality. These findings challenge the conventional wisdom that post-reform income growth was low and did not benefit the poor Online-Ausg Consumer price indexes Brazil Econometric models Consumer price indexes Mexico Econometric models Income Brazil Econometric models Income Mexico Econometric models Electronic books Chamon, Marcos Sonstige oth http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF001/09524-9781451870558/09524-9781451870558/09524-9781451870558.xml Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
