Abstract

This paper investigates asymmetric behaviors of income inequality and consumption expenditures inequalities, the relationships between them and sketches their trends in the Iranian Households’ survey for the period of 1979 to 2006.
For this purpose, and to analyze the relationships between variables panel data methodology was employed.
Results indicate that all the fluctuations of income inequality do not transmit into the composition of consumption expenditure. Therefore, there is an asymmetric relationship between these variables.
