Efficient Estimation of Semiparametric Equivalence Scales With Evidence From South Africa
半参数家庭等价尺度的有效估计：来自南非的证据
base-independent equivalence scales. The partial linear index specification permits simultaneous estimation across multiple household types and multiple goods and also the incorporation of continuous and discrete household attributes. Furthermore, asymptotic properties of estimated equivalence scales and tests of base independence are readily obtained. The efficiency gains from the proposed models and estimators are particularly helpful for developing country data where…
