INTERRELATIONAL INCOME‐DISTRIBUTION MULTIPLIERS FOR THE WEST VIRGINIA ECONOMY*
计算了1982年西弗吉尼亚州9个收入等级之间的相互关联乘数,衡量一个收入等级的收入变化如何间接影响其他等级,并用于检验涓滴理论和区域发展政策的有效性。
ABSTRACT. This paper presents a set of Miyazawa interrelational multipliers, which measure how direct changes in the income of each income bracket result in indirect and induced income changes in all other brackets. The multipliers have been calculated for a 9‐by‐9 pairing of income brackets for West Virginia in 1982. Their estimation is based on a combination of survey and nonsurvey data in three forms: a 1982 West Virginia input‐output table, a multisector income‐distribution matrix, and an income disaggregated consumption matrix. The paper illustrates the usefulness of the multipliers by showing how they provide insight into the viability of trickle‐down theory and the incidence of regional development policy.
