Standards of Living and the Life Cycle in Colonial Connecticut
研究了殖民地时期康涅狄格地区男性生活水平随婚姻和子女数量变化的情况，指出历史学家需按生命周期阶段构建财富表来衡量不平等。
Requirements for a subsistence standard of living and for higher levels in the colonial period changed with marital status. A man's income, his personal wealth, his consumption goods, and for farmers their land, had to increase with marriage and as children multiplied, though the old man might end as he began, dependent on other members of the family. In order to judge the proportion of men at different levels of wealth, and to measure inequality, the historian must construct a series of tables using all available measures of wealth for each stage in the life cycle.
