Title:Properties of equivalence scales in different countries
Authors:Koulovatianos, Christos

Issue Date:2005
Citation:[Volume:] 86 [Issue:] 1 [Pages:] 19-27 [Journal:] Journal of economics [ISBN:] 0044-3158
Abstract:Recent studies in industrialized countries have shown that equivalence scales are income-dependent. We investigate whether this dependence also holds in poorer, services oriented countries, by considering the case of Cyprus. We also examine whether household economies of scale and relative children costs differ from those found for industrialized countries.
Subjects:household economies of scale
equivalence scales
survey method
independence of base
