Adjusted Estimates of the Size Distribution of Family Money Income
通过整合多个数据源调整1972年CPS估计，发现调整后所有家庭单位平均收入上升12%，最高5%收入份额显著增加，财产收入相对重要性上升而工资收入下降。
This article describes the effects on estimates of the size distribution of family-unit money income produced by adjusting CPS estimates for 1972 by adding several other data sources. Income estimates were adjusted on an individual-observation basis to make them consistent with independent control totals. As a result of these adjustments, mean income for all units rose 12 percent. The relative share of the top 5 percent increased substantially. Property income increased and wage income decreased in relative importance. The adjustment to mean income was largest for the oldest age group and smallest for the youngest age group.
