Abstract

[fre] Une revue de la littérature sur les échelles d'équivalence, . par Valérie Lechene.. . La modélisation de l'effet des enfants sur les comportements économiques a donné lieu à une littérature abondante et controversée. Ceci provient d'une part de ce que la mesure du coût de l'enfant s'avère nécessaire pour répondre à de nombreuses questions économiques, et d'autre part, de ce que subsistent des ambiguïtés quant au champ d'application des modèles existant à l'heure actuelle. L'intégration des caractéristiques socio-démographiques à l'outil micro-économique conduit à la construction d'échelles d'équivalence, conçues comme des indices du coût des caractéristiques, et utilisées en analyse de la demande et pour la mesure du bien-être. Je présenterai le problème fondamental d'identification des échelles à partir de données de demande, et j'indiquerai ce que mesurent réellement les échelles d'équivalence. Enfin, je présenterai les modèles d'Engel, de Rothbarth, de Barten et de Prais et Houthakker, qui sont les principaux modèles utilisés. [eng] A Review ofthe Literature on Equivalence Scales, . by Valérie Lechene.. . Controversial literature abounds on modelling the effect of children on economic behaviour. This is due both to the fact that the cost of children needs to be measured in order to answer many economic questions and also that ambiguousness exists as to the field of application for the current models. The integration of socio-demographic characteristics into the microeconomic tool leads to the construction of equivalence scales, which are designed as indices of the cost of the characteristics and used to analyze demand and measure welfare. The equivalence scales, which are designed as indices of the cost of the characteristics and used to analyze demand and measure welfare. The article presents the fundamental problem of identifying scales using demand data and shows what the equivalence scales really measure. Lastly, the main models used are presented, i.e.
