    abstract = {We respond to Banks and Johnson's (1994) Comment on Coulter et al. 
(1992) drawing on a more general discussion of parametric equivalence 
scale and scale relativity issues and new empirical results. We show 
that criticisms of our earlier work are unfounded. When the 
McClements scale is properly characterised, the scale does indeed 
provide lower estimates of poverty and inequality levels than most 
other scales. We reiterate our conclusion that relationships between 
scale relativities and inequality and poverty indices may be 
index-specific. Moreover the picture about distributional trends may 
differ from that about levels. },
