Abstract

This paper examines the relative burden of monopoly, measured using the equivalent variation, for different household income levels. Inequality measures are calculated using the complete distribution of equivalent incomes, for all households in the Australian household expenditure survey. The results indicate that monopoly has a larger impact on the lower income groups, and therefore an inequality increasing effect.
