摘要：
This paper develops an axiomatic approach for constructing bilateral and multilateral spatial cost of living and welfare indices. The methodology is then used to construct urban and rural cost of living and welfare indices for various regions of Thailand. The implications of our results for inequality and poverty measurement are discussed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
