Household decisions and equivalence scales [PDF]
Journal of Population Economics, 2008 Considering an economy with a private good and a household good with a variable degree of publicness, we examine the consequences of two extreme decision rules: (1) the cooperative model, where households maximize the welfare of their members, and (2) the noncooperative model, where each household’s member maximizes her own utility. While publicness of

Equivalence Scales Reconsidered
Econometrica, 2003The paper proposes a new and normative approach for adjusting households' incomes in order to account for the heterogeneity of needs across income recipients when measuring inequality and welfare. We derive the implications for the structure of.-the adjustment method of two conditions concerned with the way the ranking of situations is modified by a ...

Parametric Equivalence Scales and Scale Relativities
The Economic Journal, 1994We respond to Banks and Johnson's (1994) Comment on Coulter et al. (1992) drawing on a more general discussion of parametric equivalence scale and scale relativity issues and new empirical results. We show that criticisms of our earlier work are unfounded.

Equivalence Scale Relativities Revisited
The Economic Journal, 1994Recent studies have assessed the impact of choice of equivalence scale on economists' measurement of the equivalent income distribution. One particular study (Coulter, Cowell and Jenkins (1992)) has found that equivalence scales used in the UK official statistics `provide lower estimates of the extent of inequality and poverty than do other scales'. In

Non-Linearities and Equivalence Scales
The Economic Journal, 1993This paper focuses on the estimation and testing of equivalence scales in the context of a demand system with nonline ar logarithmic expenditure effects in its budget-share equations. The authors show that such nonlinearity enables one to identify the scal es without demographic separability restrictions on preferences and to avoid false rejection of ...

Equivalence scales reconsidered [PDF]
, 2007 Income-expenditure surveys typically provide incomes on the household level. As households can differ in size and needs, a reliable assessment of inequality in living standards, therefore, necessitates the conversion of the original heterogeneous into an artificial quasi-homogeneous population.

Do Adult Equivalence Scales Matter in Poverty Estimates? A Northern Ghana Case Study and Simulation
Journal of International Development, 2018We test the sensitivity of per capita expenditures to several methods of per adult equivalent expenditures to control for economies of scale and household composition.
