Abstract: This paper utilizes quasi‐unit record data on expenditures and incomes of New Zealand households of different demographic profiles to estimate alternative versions of a preference‐consistent complete demand system. From the estimated models, it computes the households’ expenditure elasticities and the equivalence scales required by households of different demographic profiles to attain comparable utility levels.
