Abstract

This paper compares the size distribution of income in 1961 and 1970 after allocating all government taxes and expenditures across households. Despite sizable government efforts toward a more egalitarian distribution during the 1960's, we find that final distributions changed very little in ten years. The paper also presents new and detailed data for 1970, and discusses some common criticisms of the methods employed in this and similar studies.
