2. Most Public Transfers, 1850 to 2100.

3. Aggregate Control Totals, 1929-2004.

4. Consumption and Labor Earnings, 1888, 1917, 1935, 1960, 1963-2003.

Difficulties encountered

1. Using three micro-data sources rather than a single source.

2. Un-representative samples. (e.g. Industrial workers and their families)

3. Measuring household savings. (Residual of a residual).

4. Smoothing.

5. Adjusting to control totals.

Plans for next year (next 3 years?)

Project accounts:2007 to 2100?

Widen accounting: Education and Gender

Next Step: Longitudinal Profiles

• Using the age data from 1988,1917,1935, and 1980-2000 and the aggregate control totals from 1929-2004 and with some heroic assumptions…

• We can obtain matrices for labor earnings, consumption, and the life cycle deficit by age and year from 1850 thru 2200.

• From these, we obtain the life cycle trajectories for birth cohorts.

Warning

These are preliminary results. We cut a few corners in getting the data ready. Best viewed as an example of what we’re going to be doing (more carefully).

Difficulties encountered

1. Using three micro-data sources rather than a single source.

2. Un-representative samples. (e.g. Industrial workers and their families)

3. Assigning educational expenditures.

4. Measuring household savings. (Residual of a residual).

5. Measuring the capital stock.

Plans for next year (next 3 years?)

Deepen accounting:Details on consumption (capital/current), reallocations (capital/credit/land), and transfers (education, health, other).Develop Wealth Accounts.

Project accounts:2007 to 2100?

Other dimensions: Education and Gender

Extend accounts:Back to 1776?
