The Distribution of the Income in the Great Depression: Preliminary State Estimates
估算了1929、1933和1939年美国各州前1%和5%人口的收入份额，发现1929年各州差异显著，但到1933年份额大幅下降且差距缩小；分析表明财产收入影响份额，但未发现人均收入与不平等之间的权衡关系。
State-level estimates of income shares for the top one and five percent of the population are presented for 1929, 1933, and 1939. Significant cross-sectional variation is found in 1929, but the range narrows as the shares fall dramatically to 1933. Analysis indicates that property incomes influence the shares but provides little evidence of a tradeoff between per capita income and inequality as measured by the shares.
