Abstract
In this paper, we develop a novel approach to estimate the compensation of employees as a portion of Japan's gross domestic income. The methodology is characterized by its extensive use of comprehensive taxation data, and all data used is publicly available. Our estimates turn out to be larger than the numbers in the official statistics, and the difference has been widening in recent years. In addition, the discrepancy of the two estimates for net lending/borrowing between non-financial and financial transactions accounts (in theory, they should be the same) shrinks when the former is recalculated based on our estimates, both for households and for corporations.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
