The present paper focus on the inequality decomposition based on dummy variable regression analysis. Regression results are almost similar for dummy variable regression analysis and regression analysis developed by Morduch and Sicular (2002), Fields (2003) and Fiorio and Jenkins (2007). For both the models regression results show that all independent variables are significant in the model for the two rounds of survey under study. There has been a mixed trend for the various socio economic factors contributing in inequality in terms of consumption expenditure of households in the pre and post crisis periods.
