It is necessary to use an equivalence scale (EQS) to analyse income or wealth distribution with micro economic data if we chose the household as the unit of analysis. There are three types of equivalence scales according to the method of estimating, i.e. the expert, subjective, and consumption based scales. The method by which we tried to estimate EQS was first developed by van Praag and known as the subjective method. The original subjective method (Leyden method) assumed a cardinal welfare function. The new version of van Praag is not based on the cardinal but on the ordinal welfare function. We apply his new estimating method using GSOEP (German Socio-Economic Panel). We show the robustness of the estimates and essential features of the results in comparison with results from the other estimation types.
