In brief... The wellbeing costs of inflation inequalities

Alberto Prati

CentrePiece - The magazine for economic performance from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: Some people face sharper increases in the prices they pay than others - and since inflation makes everyone miserable, they also experience greater loss of happiness. Alberto Prati assesses the costs of such inflation inequalities in France, and explains why measuring them is important for a policy agenda that places citizens' wellbeing at its centre.
