Abstract: | The Barten model, as the principal equivalence scale model, has considerable policy importance. It has, however, never been subjected to a statistically satisfactory test. This note proposes a simple modelling artefact that allows the Barten model to be nested and tested in the conventional way. Illustrative estimation is, then, carried out on U.K. budget data. |
