Description
Add in-kind only when requested and subtract shared expense only when deductShared.
Ageing research may compare expenditure, resources, and service costs on a stated household or time basis. Equivalence weights and valuation factors are assumptions that need to be disclosed rather than inferred from the resulting number.
Add in-kind only when requested and subtract shared expense only when deductShared.
When to use this tool
Use Intergenerational Transfer Inclusion Flag when you need a research cost or resource calculation with explicit supplied factors.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter cashTransfer, inKindValue, sharedExpense, includeInKind, deductShared. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read reportedTransfer. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative cashTransfer, inKindValue, and sharedExpense. Add in-kind only when requested and subtract shared expense only when deductShared.1

| sharedExpense | Shared Expense | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| includeInKind | Include In Kind | Required. Boolean. |
| deductShared | Deduct Shared | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

}Limitations and assumptions
- ReportedTransfer can be negative; amounts share currency and period and the inclusion flags do not establish actual support, legal ownership, gift tax, or income entitlement.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Align currency, price year, household scope, and service definitions with the study method. Use the relevant policy or professional assessment for actual entitlement, affordability, or care decisions.
