Estimating the Cost of Children from New Zealand Quasi‐unit Record Data of Household Consumption
Abstract
This paper utilizes quasi‐unit record data on expenditures and incomes of New Zealand households of different demographic profiles to estimate alternative versions of a preference‐consistent complete demand system. From the estimated models, it computes the households’ expenditure elasticities and the equivalence scales required by households of different demographic profiles to attain comparable utility levels.

“Our results fall somewhere in the middle; the estimates reported by Michelini (2001) are generally higher, while Balli and Tiezzi (2010) and Blacklow et al. (2010) reported lower estimates.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
