Nat' Academies Press, Transforming Post-Communist Political Economies (1998) Per capita income inequality increased during the early phase of the economic transition by 10 percent in the Czech Republic (1988 to 1992) and by 12 percent in Poland (1987 to 1992) as measured by the Gini coefficient (Table 13-2). The increase in income inequality observed during the first phase of the transition was accompanied by a decrease in the percentage of people in the middle-income classes (75-150 percent of median equivalent income) (Table 13-1, column 7). The incomes of those in the bottom two deciles were increased proportionately by 3 percent (20 percent of the informal economy, which was assumed to be 15 percent of total disposable income). books.nap.edu /books/0309059291/html/351.html   (6428 words)

South-Western EconData -- Real Per-Capita Disposable Personal Income Personal income in the U.S. consists of all income that is received by U.S. residents in a given year, originating from all sources.

A State Strategy for Increasing Child Support Payments from Low-Income Fathers and Improving the Well-Being of Their ... Even in the minority of states that have retained the $50 pass-through, the income gain for custodial families typically is reduced further by an offsetting reduction in food stamp benefits (since most TANF households also receive food stamps). As income rises from zero to a level approaching or slightly exceeding that generated by full-time work at the minimum wage, the matching rate remains constant. The purpose of the enclosed tables is to simulate what would happen to the disposable incomes of low-income custodial families and noncustodial parents under both current law and a proposed set of child support policy changes. www.cbpp.org /4-14-99wel.htm   (4512 words)

Is There Such a Thing as an Absolute Poverty Line Over Time? Evidence from the United States, Britain, Canada, and ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The income elasticity of the poverty line can also be demonstrated by taking a given constant-dollar level which is considered to be poverty during a later period (of higher general real income) and showing that the same level was considered to be well above poverty during an earlier period (of lower general real income). Another significant source of evidence about the income elasticity of the poverty line--although it has generally been neglected in previous income elasticity literature--is the common knowledge of experts on poverty lines, budgets, and living standards, as documented in quotations from their writings. In the United States, for instance, the estimate of the normal annual income required to maintain a standard of health and decency for a family of five has jumped from $600 at the beginning of the twentieth century to nearly $2000 at the end of the third decade [of the twentieth century]. www.census.gov /hhes/poverty/povmeas/papers/elastap4.html   (16525 words)

FactCheck.org Misinforming Voters From The Stump In one of them Bush claims "real after-tax incomes are up almost 10 percent," and in another Kerry repeats his claim that jobs being created now "pay us $9,000 less than the jobs that are going overseas." It's hard to imagine how both of those statements could be true. He says "Real after-tax incomes are up almost 10 percent since December of 2000," Clinton's last full month in office. That's from the Department of Commerce, a statistic  called "real disposable income." It refers to the total of all inflation-adjusted income earned by all persons, minus taxes.

Income Elasticity of the Poverty Line Another significant (although neglected) source of evidence about the income elasticity of the poverty line is the common knowledge of experts on poverty lines and family budgets, as documented in quotations from their writings. These comparisons demonstrate the income elasticity of the poverty line by showing that a real monetary level that was considered to be well above poverty/subsistence during an earlier period (of lower general real incomes) was considered to be below poverty during a later period. Given that the income elasticity of the poverty line was well known among American poverty line experts before 1970, it is puzzling that many participants in today's poverty line debates are unaware of it. aspe.os.dhhs.gov /poverty/papers/elassmiv.htm   (3290 words)

Relative or Absolute -- The Behavior of Poverty Lines Over Time Another significant (although neglected) source of evidence about the income elasticity of the poverty line is the common knowledge of experts on poverty lines and family budgets before 1970, as documented in quotations from their writings. It is clear that the income elasticity of the poverty line was well known to these experts, and that they were quite familiar with the underlying social processes involved. The force of this American historical evidence is strengthened when one realizes that the income elasticity of the poverty line results from social processes that have continued--indeed, have perhaps even intensified--since the 1960's. aspe.hhs.gov /poverty/papers/relabs.htm   (977 words)

Household Debt Service and Financial Obligations Ratios The household debt service ratio is the ratio of household debt payments to disposable income. To create the measure, payments are calculated separately for revolving debt and for each type of closed-end debt, and the sum of these payments is divided by disposable personal income as reported in the National Income and Product Accounts.   To calculate the homeowner and renter financial obligations ratios, homeowner and renter shares of payments and income derived from the SCF and Current Population Survey are applied to the numerator and denominator of the total financial obligations ratio. www.federalreserve.gov /releases/housedebt/about.htm   (544 words)

Economic Report of the President (1997) VIA UM-ST. LOUIS Also, the increase in income inequality described in Chapter 5 is one widely discussed phenomenon that is completely unaffected by CPI measurement: inequality is measured by comparing income between groups; converting to real values is irrelevant, and in any case any bias in the deflator would affect all of the groups equally. For example, the problems with proprietors’ income may persist, as such income is chronically underreported, and the correction for underreporting is based on an out- of- date (1988) taxpayer compliance study that has been discontinued. Consumer fundamentals remain positive: consumer confidence is high, income growth is healthy (real disposable personal income expanded at a better than 3 percent rate over the four quarters ending in the third quarter of 1996), and the growth in household liabilities has been offset by rapid growth of assets. www.umsl.edu /services/govdocs/erp/1997/chap2.htm   (16803 words)
