Research question

How does the affordability of a consumer basket vary across districts and different observation years?

Research objective

This planned study focuses on territorial disparities between consumer basket costs and income opportunities during the corresponding periods.

Planned data structure

The comparison of multiple district-level cross-sections requires care in harmonising territorial boundaries as well as price and wage measurements.

Proposed methodology

Exploratory data analysis, regression, clustering and cross-tabulations will be used to investigate associations and spatial patterns. This is a planned study, not a completed or published result.
