Emulating Talukdar (2012), the paper analyses the impact of inflation on poverty and income distribution of eight ASEAN countries using the Country and Period Fixed Effect Panel Least Squares Model. The panel dataset comprises of ten observations over the period of 1999 to 2018 for each country, with the analysis restricted to only eight members of ASEAN, namely Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam, Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Cambodia to study the impact of inflation on a region with differing income and poverty level.
