A matching estimator of household equivalence scales

Adam Szulc ()

Economics Letters, 2009, vol. 103, issue 2, 81-83

Abstract: Household equivalence scales utilising matching estimation are derived by estimating the effect that demographic variables have on the expenditures. In this approach it is not necessary to estimate preference functions and is possible to establish asymptotic properties of the estimator.
