“…Given that Aside from capturing the non-linearity condition in consumption (as suggested, for example, by Blundell et al . 1993;Dickens et al . 1993), the quadratic expenditure term (FS* 2 ) also relaxes the equality restriction imposed by linear demand functions regarding the allocation of marginal expenditures for various fish types among rich and poor households.…”

Fish demand patterns in nine Asian countries were investigated using a multistage budgeting framework allowing a disaggregated approach to analysing fish consumption. This paper highlights the heterogeneity of fisheries products in terms of species, sources and cultural responses of consumers, factors that are important in fish demand under the Asian setting. Specifically, fish demand by income groups were compared to determine how the low-and high-income households respond to price and income changes. Results showed that the estimated price and income elasticities of all fish types included in the study were relatively more elastic among the poorer households.

“…We begin by describing how the identification method described in Section 2 has been implemented, using a publicly available data 10 Several papers have tested the independence of base assumption using parametric (Blundell and Lewbel [4]; Pashardes [23]) and semiparametric methods (Blundell et al [24]; Pendakur [25]). Dickens et al [26] test the IB hypothesis in the context of linear and non-linear demand models. All these papers find statistical evidence to reject the demand restrictions implied by the IB condition.…”

Identifying tax implicit equivalence scales

This paper describes a simple and tractable method for identifying equivalence scales that reflect the value judgements implicit in a tax and transfer system. The approach depends on two identifying assumptions and a functional description for transfer payments that can be estimated using common publicly available data sources. We use this approach to evaluate tax implicit equivalence scales for the tax-transfer systems of 12 European countries that applied in 2012. Cross-country averages for the tax implicit scales generate a surprising set of stylised results: at low incomes, each additional household member increases the tax implicit scale by approximately 0.5, relative to 1.0 for the first adult; at high incomes, the average tax implicit scales describe variation that is remarkably similar to the modified OECD scale. However, substantial cross-country variation underlies these average scales, suggesting important differences in value judgements underlying the respective tax-transfer systems; differences that can otherwise be difficult to discern in complex and opaque systems.

Two conversion schemes may be employed for assessing income inequality from household equivalent incomes: to weight household units by size or by needs. Using data from the Luxembourg Income Study, we show the sensitivity of country inequality rankings to conversion schemes and explain the finding by means of inequality decomposition. A bootstrap approach is implemented to test for statistical significance of our results. JEL D31, D63, I32
