Marketpulseco

MarketPulse (marketpulseco.com) — Crowdsourced Nigerian cost-of-living price panel, uniquely broader than food: alongside staples (local rice, garri, beans, cooking oil, eggs by the crate of 30, bread, chicken, mackerel/Titus) it captures energy and intracity transport — PMS fuel per litre and by the 5L jerrycan, keke short-trip fares and BRT medium fares.

Marketpulseco offers (Alternative, Price, Geospatial, Sentiment) — Est. thin and early: roughly 12 headline items are shown on the landing page across a small number of cities and areas. Volume is a function of submission rate, which is unobserved; at even 50 reports per day across Lagos and Abuja the archive would be around 18K rows per year — small, though each row is a real transaction observation rather than a vendor quote..

Informal-economy price DISPERsion modelling — this is the headline value, since official statistical series publish a mean and cannot observe how much the same item varies between shoppers on the same day; true out-of-pocket cost-of-living and household purchasing-power indices that include transport and fuel in one basket rather than food alone (the closest thing to a bottom-up Nigerian minimum-living-scope indicator); negotiation-gap and price-discrimination research; sub-city inflation nowcasting at area rather than state level; and mobility/energy affordability monitoring from keke, BRT and PMS prints that food-price platforms omit.

Coverage spans Other; Agricultural Products & Services; alternative, price, geospatial, sentiment; commodities, equities.
