THE INFLUENCE OF THE PRICES OF FEEDING PRODUCTS ON POVERTY IN BULGARIA IN 2011 (FIRST PART)
Rasim Ryustem
Abstract: Both in global as well as in regional aspect, people living in different geographic regions face different prices. These price differences can have a serious impact on incomes of individuals and households in which they live. This article discusses the impact of prices on the purchasing power of household incomes.
Indices similar to PPS will be built using data from HBS, but at a local level (for Bulgaria), with which household incomes will be adjusted. The first part of the article focuses on the building of price indices, while the second part discusses how these indices can be used.
The final objective is to check whether price differences at district level have a direct impact on poverty in the area concerned or in the municipalities that form it.
