The principal purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of 16 food items on the overall food expenditure inequality in Greece using the raw data of Family Budget Surveys conducted during 1987/88 and 1993/94. The method employed was the decomposition of the extended Gini coefficient. According to the results, taxing expenditure on food consumed away from home and on alcoholic drinks will improve the distribution of food expenditure equality and will increase the progressivity of the tax system. Subsidising the other food items will have the same but more modest effect. |
