Analyses of income inequality across households crucially depend on equivalence scales. They define income increments necessary to keep a household’s living standard constant as it is joined by additional adults or children. Such scales have frequently been estimated using income satisfaction data, yet under the assumption that household income, size and structure are exogenous. The present paper is ...
