Market power of the input supplier, technology transfer and consumer welfare
Cao, Jiyun; Mukherjee, Arijit - 2014
It is believed that market power of the input supplier, charging a linear price, is detrimental for the consumers since it creates the double marginalisation problem. We show that this view may not be true if the final goods producers can adopt strategies to reduce rent extraction by the input...

Sultan, Samina - 2020
The value-added tax is one of the most important tax revenue sources in many countries. However, it is sometimes considered unfair as it ultimately hits consumption, and poorer households spend a greater share of their income on consumption. But this depends on whether, and to what degree, the...

Pro-poor price trends and inequality : the case of India
Almås, Ingvild; Kjelsrud, Anders - 2016
It is well known that people’s consumption patterns change with income. Relative price changes therefore affect rich and poor consumers differently. Yet, the standard price indices are not income-specific and hence, the use of these mask these differences in cost-of-living. In this paper, we...
