This volume addresses that trend and introduces new methods of measuring transfers in the American economy. Social security, private pension benefits, housing, and health care are traditional kinds of transfers. Accurate measurements of the degree and effect of these and of other, newly interpreted transfers are vital to economic policy making. Though this volume is not directly concerned with policy-making issues, it does impinge on many areas of current public concern; methods of transfer valuation, for example, may affect how we view the status of the aged. Researchers, policy analysts, and those who compile statistics on which social programs are based on will value the diverse approaches of these ten papers and their accompanying comments. Taken together the essays give great insight into the complexities of defining transfers and provide a wealth of new analytic methods. They were developed from material presented at the Income and Wealth Conference on Social Accounting for Transfers held at Madison, Wisconsin, in 1982. 410 0$aStudies in income and wealth ;$vv. 49. 606 $aIncome distribution$zUnited States 606 $aTransfer payments$zUnited States 615 0$aIncome distribution 615 0$aTransfer payments 676 $a330 s 339.5/22 676 $a339.522 701 $aMoon$b Marilyn$0519392 712 12$aConference on Social Accounting for Transfers$f(1982 :$eMadison, Wis.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964712703321 996 $aEconomic transfers in the United States$94353142 997 $aUNINA
