Another Look at Empirical Equivalence and Underdetermination of Theory Choice [PDF]
, 2013 In 1991 Larry Laudan and Jarret Leplin proposed a solution for the problem of predictive equivalence and empirical underdetermination. In this paper we claim that, even though Laudan and Leplin’s reasoning is essentially correct, their solution of the ...

An experimental analysis of two departures from Ricardian equivalence [PDF]
We construct an overlapping-generations experiment to test for two alleged departures from Ricardian equivalence. In the first treatment the setting is close to the theoretical model, while in the second we allow for liquidity-constrained consumers.

Equivalence Scales Declining with Expenditure: Evidence and Implications for Income Distribution [PDF]
We estimate expenditure dependent equivalence scales for Italian couples with and without children. Following Donaldson and Pendakur (2006) we incorporate the generalized absolute equivalence-scale exactness (GAESE) restrictions into a translated ...

Inequality Measures, Equivalence Scales and Adjustment for Household Size and Composition [PDF]
Total household income inequality can be very different from inequality measured at the income per-capita level but only in recent years has the pattern of this divergence been investigated. In this paper, results from Coulter et al.
