Abstract: | The plutocratic gap is defined as the difference between the inflation measured according to the current official consumer price index (CPI) and a democratic index in which all households receive the same weight. During 1992-97, the plutocratic gap in Spain averaged 0,055 percentage points a year. Since positive and negative gaps cancel out, the average absolute gap is significantly larger: 0,090 percentage points a year. |
