Notes: Equivalent income is needs-adjusted using low-income cutoff (LICO) equivalence scale, and spatial prices-adjusted using LICO-based deflator. Baseline group is unattached individuals living in urban (500,000) area.
t statistics are calculated at each value of x in the sample, while only 20 selected points are reported in this table.
