Working Paper Number: SIPP-WP-43

The Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) is intended to provide comprehensive information on the economic resources of the American people and on how public transfer and tax programs affect their financial circumstances.  The data from the SIPP are expected to provide government policy makers with an information base for studying the efficiency of government tax and transfer programs, for estimating future program costs and coverage, and for assessing the effects of proposed policy changes.
