Welfare-Dependent Household Economies of Scale: Further Evidence

No 2005/2, Discussion Papers from Free University Berlin, School of Business & Economics

Abstract: We use a survey method designed to capture whether the consumption sharing ability of households varies systematically at different levels of well being. Evidence from Cyprus reconfirms our previous results from other countries, that household consumption economies of scale increase as the living standard of a household increases.
