### Summary and central finding
- Inclusive growth is narrowly defined in this paper as growth that helps reduce inequality.
- Inclusive growth is achieved if consumption of the poor increases faster than consumption of the rich.
- The paper presents a simple accounting framework for a per-percentile consumption diagnostics that could inform redistribution policies.
- The proposed framework is illustrated in application to Iraq and Tunisia.

### Framework and methodological contribution
- Presents a simple accounting framework for per-percentile consumption diagnostics.
- The diagnostics are designed to inform redistribution policies by identifying percentile-level consumption changes.
- Emphasis on per-percentile policy, percentile targeting, percentile properties, and percentile structure in consumption distributions.

### Applications and empirical illustration
- The proposed framework is illustrated in application to Iraq and Tunisia.

### Policy implications and use for redistribution
- The per-percentile consumption diagnostics are intended to inform redistribution policies by showing how consumption changes across the distribution.
- Policy use centers on identifying whether consumption of the poor increases faster than consumption of the rich to operationalize inclusive growth.
