英文文献：How Increased Food and Energy Prices Affect Consumer Welfare
英文文献作者：Huang, Kuo S.,Huang, Sophia Wu
英文文献摘要：
We analyze the consumer welfare effects of increased food and energy prices and find that the own-price elasticities of both food and energy are relatively inelastic, which explain well the dynamics of the recent soaring food and energy prices. The estimated demand elasticities are then used to analyze the consumer welfare effects of price changes in food and energy. The results indicate that an increase of food and energy prices would incur a substantial consumer welfare loss, which is a heavy burden for low income households.
