Assessing differences in household needs : a comparison of approaches for the estimation of equivalence scales using German expenditure data
Dudel, Christian; Garbuszus, Jan Marvin; Schmied, Julian - 2017
Equivalence scales are routinely applied to adjust the income of households of different size and composition. Because of their practical importance for the measurement of inequality and poverty, a large number of methods for the estimation of equivalence scales have been proposed. Until now, no...

Differences across place and time in household expenditure patterns : implications for the estimation of equivalence scales
Daley, Angela; Garner, Thesia Isedora; Phipps, Shelley A.; … - 2020
Equivalence scales are often used to adjust household income for differences in characteristics that affect needs. For example, a family of two is assumed to need more income than a single person, but not double due to economies of scale in consumption. However, in comparing economic well-being...

Differences across countries and time in household expenditure patterns : implications for the estimation of equivalence scales
Daley, Angela; Garner, Thesia Isedora; Phipps, Shelley A.; … - 2020
When comparing economic well-being using income or expenditures, an equivalence scale is often used to adjust for differences in characteristics that affect needs. For example, a family of two is assumed to need more income than a single person, but not twice as much due to the economies of...

Households in transit : COVID-19 and the changing measurement of welfare
Caron, Laura; Tiongson, Erwin R. - 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic placed new constraints and prices on commuting to work around the world. However, traditional methods of measuring household welfare (and, accordingly, poverty and inequality) based on expenditures have not considered these changes. First, we present theory showing...

Income-dependent equivalence scales and choice theory implications for poverty measurement
Koulovatianos, Christos; Schröder, Carsten - 2022
Equivalence Scales are a tool for removing the heterogeneity of household sizes in the measurement of inequality, and affect poverty assessments and poverty lines. We address the disadvantage that poor households may suffer due to their reduced ability to share goods within the household. This...
