摘要

我们使用了一个数据集,其中包含了美国和墨西哥在条形码水平上匹配的消费品价格和支出,以衡量墨西哥相对于美国的价格指数。与国际比较项目(ICP)的价格指数相比,墨西哥的价格相对于美国低23%。我们将23%的差距分解为来自imputation, sampling, quality和variety的偏差。质量偏见使墨西哥的价格上涨了48%。估算、抽样和品种偏差分别使墨西哥的价格降低了11%、13%和33%。(jel c43, e31, i31, o11, o12)

Measuring the Cost of Living in Mexico and the United States
We use a dataset with prices and spending on consumer packaged goods matched at the bar code level across the United States and Mexico to measure the price index in Mexico relative to the United States. Mexican prices relative to the United States are 23 percent lower compared to the International Comparisons Project’s (ICP) price index. We decompose the 23 percent gap into the biases from imputation, sampling, quality, and variety. Quality bias increases Mexican prices by 48 percent. Imputation, sampling, and variety bias lowers Mexican prices by 11 percent, 13 percent, and 33 percent, respectively. (JEL C43, E31, I31, O11, O12)

期刊介绍: American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics focuses on studies of aggregate fluctuations and growth, and the role of policy in that context. Such studies often borrow from and interact with research in other fields, such as monetary theory, industrial organization, finance, labor economics, political economy, public finance, international economics, and development economics. To the extent that they make a contribution to macroeconomics, papers in these fields are also welcome.
