Price Structure Trends and Standard-of-Living Inequalities in France from 1974 to 1995 by Marceline Bodier and Denis Cogneau
French consumer prices fluctuated sharply from 1974 to 1995. However, these fluctuations had only a modest effect on the redistribution of household standards of living compared with income redistribution. Although minor, the redistributive effect of prices can be deemed positive since 1984 and more especially from 1984 to 1989 when income inequalities and poverty rose sharply. A number of studies have forecast that changes in the VAT rate structure due to European harmonisation would have a substantial antidistributive effect. The effect seems to be smaller than expected and has been offset by other prodistributive relative price changes. Lastly, the recent change in relative prices has also favoured the older age brackets.International Trade and Market Structures: An Empirical Test Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
