The paper examines tax progressivity and income inequality using Census Bureau Current Population Survey (CPS) personal income data. The Kakwani index is used to derive tax progressivity for All, Male, Female, White and African American personal wage income of CPS respondents, respectively. The tax progressivity results show a tax system that is partly progressive and mostly regressive. Due to its regressive nature, the tax system did not display tax progressivity for the entire period under analysis for personal wage income respondents as well as when broken-down by race and gender in the United States for years 1996 to 2011.

Household Heterogeneity

This paper focuses on progress in achieving greater integration between demographic and economic components in system-wide modeling. It underlines the importance of Czamanski’s Baltimore model as well as other influential research based on the two-sector economic base model, before proceeding to review more complex, spatially-disaggregated economy-wide models. The subsequent work of Ledent, Schinnar and others is presented as the foundation for some important initiatives that centered on the Batey-Madden model and its derivatives. Attention is directed to some recent advances in the Batey-Madden model and subsequent work addressing household heterogeneity in the context of income formation and distribution associated with contributions by Miyazawa. The paper explores some avenues for integration of activity analysis and household disaggregation based on income, age or skill endowments to enhance the understanding of the role that households play in the economy.
