U.S. Size Distribution and the Macroeconomy, 1986-2009

Author

Abstract

The US national income and product accounts are restated in the form of a social accounting matrix or SAM. Using data from the Congressional Budget Office and the Consumer Expenditure Survey of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the SAM is extended to include seven household groups in the size distribution of income. Aspects of rising inequality are pointed out, and a simple demand-driven model to set up to examine redistributive policies.
