В условиях повышенной инфляционной волатильности и усиления жесткости денежно-кредитной политики вопрос о том, кто именно несет издержки роста цен, приобретает особую значимость. На основе структуры расходов децильных групп населения авторами строится межгрупповой индекс потребительских цен, позволяющий оценить различия в уровне «личной инфляции» и их влияние на динамику реальных доходов. Результаты показывают, что домохозяйства с низкими доходами систематически сталкиваются с более высокой инфляцией по сравнению с обеспеченными группами, причем разрыв усиливается в кризисные периоды. Это приводит к заниженной оценке масштабов экономического неравенства при использовании агрегированного индекса потребительских цен в качестве дефлятора доходов. Следовательно, усредненные инфляционные индексы могут маскировать реальную динамику покупательной способности и недооценивать социальную цену инфляции. Проведенный анализ демонстрирует, что учет межгрупповых различий в инфляции является необходимым условием корректной оценки реальных доходов и разработки более адресной распределительной политики. Ограничением работы является использование укрупненных категорий потребления (продовольственные товары, непродовольственные товары и услуги) без учета внутрикатегорийной вариации цен и качества товаров, что открывает перспективы для дальнейших исследований на основе микроданных.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="en" abstract-type="summary"><p>This paper examines the heterogeneity of the inflation burden across households with different income levels in Russia over 2010–2022. In a context of heightened inflation volatility and tighter monetary policy, the question of who ultimately bears the costs of rising prices becomes especially important. Using the expenditure structure of income deciles, we construct an intergroup consumer price index to measure differences in “personal inflation” and assessing their impact on real-income dynamics. The results show that low-income households systematically face higher inflation than better-off groups, and this gap widens during crisis periods. As a consequence, using the aggregate consumer price index to deflate incomes leads to an understatement of economic inequality. Average inflation measures can therefore obscure the true dynamics of purchasing power, while the social cost of inflation remains underestimated. The results show that accounting for between-group inflation differentials is a necessary condition for an accurate assessment of real incomes and for designing targeted redistribution policies. A limitation of the paper is its reliance on broad consumption categories (food commodities, non-food commodities, and services) without capturing within-category variation in prices and product quality, which points to promising directions for future research using micro-level data.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>инфляционное бремя</kwd><kwd>неравенство доходов</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>inflation burden</kwd><kwd>income inequality</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><ref id="ref1"><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xml:lang="ru">Грищенко В., Гасанова Д., Фомин Е., Кореняк Г.
