Abstract
Upper limits to household equivalence scales are computed, using data from a survey of more than 23,000 Spanish households, to establish: the existence of economies of location, cost differentials due to age, and sex discrimination. The results question the use of some common measurements of income distribution and poverty, and should be taken into account in setting the standards for public welfare payments.
