Changes in Durable Goods Holdings in Mexico and Sensitivity to Income 330 3 $aEconomic policies are often judged by a handful of statistics, some of which may be biased during periods of change. We estimate the income growth implied by the evolution of food demand and durable good ownership in post-reform Brazil and Mexico, and find that changes in consumption patterns are inconsistent with official estimates of near stagnant incomes. That is attributed to biases in the price deflator. The estimated unmeasured income gains are higher for poorer households, implying marked reductions in "real" inequality. These findings challenge the conventional wisdom that post-reform income growth was low and did not benefit the poor. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/197 606 $aIncome$zBrazil$xEconometric models 606 $aIncome$zMexico$xEconometric models 606 $aConsumer price indexes$zBrazil$xEconometric models 606 $aConsumer price indexes$zMexico$xEconometric models 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aUrban, Rural, and Regional Economics: Household Analysis: General$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aPersonal income$2imf 606 $aConsumer price indexes$2imf 606 $aPublic expenditure review$2imf 606 $aHousehold consumption$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aPrice indexes$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 607 $aBrazil$2imf 615 0$aIncome$xEconometric models. 615 0$aIncome$xEconometric models. 615 0$aConsumer price indexes$xEconometric models. 615 0$aConsumer price indexes$xEconometric models. 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aUrban, Rural, and Regional Economics: Household Analysis: General 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aPersonal income 615 7$aConsumer price indexes 615 7$aPublic expenditure review 615 7$aHousehold consumption 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aPrice indexes 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aEconomics 676 $a339.20981 700 $ade Carvalho Filho$b Irineu$01610173 701 $aChamon$b Marcos$01090692 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810968503321 996 $aThe Myth of Post-Reform Income Stagnation$94070698 997 $aUNINA
