Abstract
In this paper we use the 2007 Iraq Household Socio-Economic Survey to construct a monetary welfare
indicator that will measure the living standards of Iraqi households. We devote special attention to the
treatment of rations distributed by the Public Distribution System and to the estimation of the
consumption flow from durable goods.
