Spatial Differences in Prices in India, State Rankings and Inequality

Chapter Chapter 6 in Household Behaviour, Prices, and Welfare, 2018, pp 119-178 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The results on India presented in the previous chapter touched on the issue of spatial differences in prices by providing evidence of regional differences in the temporal movement in prices and of rural–urban differentials in prices at a point in time. The focus of the discussion in the previous chapter was on inflation and its distributive effects rather than on the spatial differences in prices. The present chapter provides a more complete treatment by focussing exclusively on the calculation of spatial price indices and using them in the welfare ranking of the Indian States.
