The document discusses the impact of large price increases on welfare and poverty in Bangladesh. It presents a model to examine how changes in expenditures from price increases are related to adult equivalent expenditures and other demographic factors. The results show first round losses in entitlements that vary by household type, and second round changes in consumption and production up to 17% of first round impacts. Higher expenditures had a positive effect, though the impact was quadratic and varied between agricultural and non-agricultural households. While price rises increased poverty gaps, they did not increase overall poverty incidence. Suggestions are made to better capture expenditures and consumption changes, and how people might cope with price increases through substitution.
