Cravino和Levchenko（2017）确定，1994年墨西哥比索贬值使低收入家庭的消费篮子价格大幅高于高收入家庭的消费篮子价格。在本文中，我们进一步探讨这一结果，重点是在多大程度上的消费篮子的价格变化后，贬值的区域差异。我们的主要发现是，贬值在所有地区都是反穷人的，但穷人面临的相对通货膨胀在很大程度上存在区域差异。
Cravino and Levchenko (2017) establish that the 1994 Mexican peso devaluation raised the prices of consumption baskets of low-income households substantially more than the prices of the consumption baskets of high-income households. In this paper, we explore this result further by focusing on the regional variation in how much prices of consumption baskets changed following the devaluation. Our main finding is that the devaluation was anti-poor in all regions, but there is substantial regional dispersion in the relative inflation faced by the poor.
