Different household – different inflation rate

Regina Kiss and Georg Strasser

Research Bulletin, 2024, vol. 121

Abstract: Households differ considerably in terms of the inflation they experience at any point in time. The main reasons for this are that prices (and thus price changes) differ from place to place and that households do not all buy the same products. Households adjust their purchases over time, but not enough to offset these differences. JEL Classification: D12, D30, E31, F45
