Working Paper Number: SEHSD-WP1991-03 or SIPP-WP-147
Abstract
This paper illustrates the construction of duration-weighted total and per-capita measures of household income, using a longitudinal definition of households in which continuity of physical location and household composition are joint criteria that determine their continuous existence. These measures are used to report the annual incomes and income sources of households headed by persons of different marital status, race, and sex, using subannual data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP).
