Determination of Consumer Unit Scales

Balvir Singh; A. L. Nagar

Abstract

[This paper develops an iterative procedure for estimating "specific" and "income" consumer unit scales in Engel curve analysis. The proposed procedure is essentially a modification of the Prais and Houthakker method and is illustrated by means of a numerical example based on the Indian National Sample Survey data.]
