1. Equivalence income is normalized by dividing median income of respective province. Scaling factors are based on the low-income cutoff equivalence scale and cost-of-living factors. Test of dominance is evaluated at every x value in the sample between 15% and 70% of the provincial median income.
Notes: Median equivalent income in Newfoundland and Labrador=$31,491; in Ontario=$35,950. Maximum
low-income line=70% of provincial median income.
