SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF NON-WHITE INCOMES, 1963 THROUGH 1973
Title
THE SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF NON-WHITE INCOMES, 1963 THROUGH 1973.
Creator
LLOYD, SAMUEL HAROLD, Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
This thesis focuses on the size distribution of non-white incomes for families, unrelated individuals, and total for the eleven year period from 1963 through 1973. Techniques used in the theoretical study are Lorenz-Gini Index , the Lognormal Distribution and Pareto's Law, Chapter II covers the methodology; Chapter III, a survey of the literature; Chapter IV, theoretical analysis and empirical results; Chapter V, summary and conclusions with recommendations for further research. Income data...

Techniques used in the theoretical study are Lorenz-Gini Index , the Lognormal Distribution and Pareto's Law, Chapter II covers the methodology; Chapter III, a survey of the literature; Chapter IV, theoretical analysis and empirical results; Chapter V, summary and conclusions with recommendations for further research. Income data was extracted from the Department of Commerce's P-60 series for each year during the period. It is the conclusion of this thesis that the size distribution of non-white incomes has not changed significantly during this period.

TIME SERIES ANALYSIS OF INCOME AND CONSUMPTION
Title
TIME SERIES ANALYSIS OF INCOME AND CONSUMPTION.
Creator
THEALL, GEORGE ALBERT., Florida Atlantic University, Stronge, William B., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description
This thesis uses time series analysis to construct models of income and consumption in the United States between 1947 and 1983. The data are quarterly observations on three measures of income and two of consumption. The study begins with a survey of univariate and multivariate model building techniques. With the life cycle - permanent income hypothesis as a foundation, theoretical models of income and consumption are discussed. These models are then fit to the data and examined. Tests for...

The data are quarterly observations on three measures of income and two of consumption. The study begins with a survey of univariate and multivariate model building techniques. With the life cycle - permanent income hypothesis as a foundation, theoretical models of income and consumption are discussed. These models are then fit to the data and examined. Tests for causality are also covered in order to determine the manner in which the two processes are related in a multivariate model.
