Evaluating Regional Poverty in China With Subjective Equivalence Scales
This paper analyzes the poverty in urban China in 1995 using 1995 Chinese Household Income Projects (CHIP) data. It applies the intersection method to estimate the minimum poverty thresholds and the implicit equivalence scales that differentiate according to family sizes and regional characteristics. The Sen Index of Poverty and Headcount Index are estimated at four distinct poverty thresholds ...

The incidence of spores of C. botulinum in 100 samples of each of four categories of commercially available convenience foods was determined. These categories included (i) "boil-in-the-bag" foods, (ii) vacuum-packed foods, (iii) pressurized foods, and (...
متن کاملEstimates of Semiparametric Equivalence Scales
Within the semiparametric framework introduced by Pendakur (1999) we introduce a new loss function to estimate equivalence scales. This loss function uses all available information from the total expenditures of both the reference and nonreference households and as such it produces more reliable estimates. We also use the correlation coefficient to directly test the hypothesis of shape invarian...
