摘要

自1970年以来，美国收入不平等的加剧在很大程度上反映了收入分配前20%的家庭的收入增长。估计表明，这一群体之外的家庭因放弃消费而遭受了重大损失，这是相对于保持不平等不变的情况来衡量的。减少损失的一个重要因素是政府再分配转移支付的大幅增加，这在同期美国产出中所占的比例翻了一番。

Consequences of Rising Income Inequality

The increase in U.S. income inequality since 1970 largely reflects gains made by households in the top 20% of the income distribution. Estimates suggest that households outside this group have suffered significant losses from foregone consumption, measured relative to a scenario that holds inequality constant. A substantial mitigating factor for the losses has been the dramatic rise in government redistributive transfers, which have doubled as a share of U.S. output over the same period.
