Abstract
This paper shows that assumptions about distributional parameters in plan models have implications for projections about commoditywise demand and redistributional changes required to achieve certain targeted poverty reduction. As an example, the paper attempts to quantify such implications with reference to the Fifth Five Year Plan. It is shown that such assumptions lead to distortions in plan projections which are particularly serious for redistributional targets.
