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

of their practical importance for the measurement of inequality and poverty, a large number of methods for the estimation … estimate are close to the modified OECD scale. Calculating the Gini coefficient, we find that the at-risk-of-poverty rate and … inequality and poverty. We conclude that differences in estimation methods for equivalence scales might be less important than …

Consumption-savings decisions under upward looking comparisons : evidence from Germany, 2002 - 2011

Drechsel-Grau, Moritz; Schmid, Kai D. - 2013

We demonstrate that interpersonal comparisons lead to "keeping up with the Joneses"-behavior. Using annual household data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we estimate the causal effect of changes in reference consumption, defined as the consumption level of all households who are perceived...

Sharp for SARP : Nonparametric Bounds on the Behavioural and Welfare Effects of Price Changes

Blundell, Richard W. - 2012

Sharp nonparametric bounds are derived for Hicksian compensating and equivalent variations. These 'i-bounds' generalize earlier results of Blundell, Browning and Crawford (2008). We show that their e-bounds are sharp under the Weak Axiom of Revealed Preference (WARP). They do not require...

Consumption-savings decisions under upward-looking comparisons : conference paper

Drechsel-Grau, Moritz; Schmid, Kai D. - 2014

We demonstrate that upward-looking comparisons induce "keeping up with the richer Joneses"-behavior. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we estimate the effect of reference consumption, defined as the consumption level of all households who are perceived to be richer, on household...
