摘要

Much of the debate over the distributional fairness of fiscal policy is discussed in the context of the current US income distribution and how it has changed over time. Given the importance of income statistics in such debates, there is a surprising lack of consensus over what should be counted as income in distributional analyses. Most economists agree that cash market income, such as labor earnings, interest, and dividends should be included. But should income be measured on a pretax or posttax basis? Should cash transfer payments like those from Social Security or Unemployment Insurance be included? What about in-kind benefits such as employer-provided health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or food stamps? Further, should capital gains be included and, if so, should it be on a yearly accrual basis or at realization?
