The Effects of Inflation of Inequality and Social Welfare in Australia : International Comparisons.

When the prices of goods that form a relatively large proportion of the total expenditure of low income households rise in relation to all other goods, the inequality of the real income distribution increases. This paper models the effect on inequality and welfare if, ceteris paribus, Australian consumers faced foreign country prices and not Australian prices during the period 1980 to 1995.
