Project Description
Critique of a paper by Masako Oyama (2003) called: Measuring Cost of Children Using Equivalence Scale on Japanese Panel Data. Here I made a constructive academic critique of econometrical methods used in this paper and proposed 5 improvements which would make a research not only better, but also much more valid in econometrical sense. Some interesting statistical approaches are discussed in this paper. Attached you can find the original paper and my critique (5 pages) written in academic language.
