Εσωτερική προεπισκόπησηDisaggregated inflation rates: Some preliminary economic analysis for Greece
The study examines inflation inequality among Greek households from 2009 to 2022 across income groups, occupational status, household size and composition, and discusses the resulting policy implications.
Περίληψη
The aim of the current study is to assess the households’ inflation inequality in Greece not only across different income groups but also across other households’ social and economics characteristics, such as occupational status and household composition, among others, for the more recent period from 2009 to 2022. The picture that emerges from our results is that there are important inflation differences across different categories of households.
More specifically, we find that the main discrepancies are evident across household income categories, with poorer households experiencing significantly higher inflation. Other factors that lead to an inflation gap across households include the size of the household, the profession of the lead member of the household, as well as the composition of the household. Policy implications of these results are also discussed.
