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.

基于税务数据的员工薪酬估算

在本文中，我们开发了一种新的方法来估计雇员的薪酬作为日本国内总收入的一部分。该方法的特点是广泛使用综合税收数据，所使用的所有数据都是公开的。我们的估计结果比官方统计的数字要大，而且近年来差距一直在扩大。此外，当根据我们的估计重新计算非金融交易账户和金融交易账户之间的净借贷(理论上，它们应该是相同的)时，前者的差异会缩小，无论是对家庭还是对企业。

期刊介绍： Started in 1950 by a group of leading Japanese economists under the title The Economic Studies Quarterly, the journal became the official publication of the Japanese Economic Association in 1959. As its successor, The Japanese Economic Review has become the Japanese counterpart of The American Economic Review, publishing substantial economic analysis of the highest quality across the whole field of economics from researchers both within and outside Japan. It also welcomes innovative and thought-provoking contributions with strong relevance to real economic issues, whether political, theoretical or policy-oriented.
