Abstract

The impact of disability on household welfare is estimated by equivalence scales using data from the 1986-1987 FES Disability Survey. Three methods of identifying scales from cross-section data are considered; these imply a series of restrictions that are tested on quadratic logarithmic Engel curves. The results indicate that there are substantial consumption costs associated with physical disability.
