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