Working paper by Gudrun Svavarsdottir, Tinna Laufey Asgeirsdottir, Andrew E. Clark and Gunnar Stefansson in the Paris School of Economics series (64 pages): it builds a subjective equivalence scale from the EU-SILC minimum income question, compares it with the OECD and square-root scales, and shows how much the choice of scale changes measured poverty and inequality.
