真实的国民收入趋势通常是使用人均国内生产总值或家庭平均收入等综合指标评估的，而收入分配文献则侧重于收入不平等的趋势。相比之下，本文采取了一种综合的方法来衡量真实的国民收入，它使用的方法结合了规模和分布的考虑，并将其应用于家庭收入微观数据，以衡量在英国的真实的收入的变化。在20世纪80年代一个参数类的可分解的真实的收入indices的建议，补充准排序方法，如排名和广义的优势准则，告诉我们有多少真实的收入增加了在此期间（如果在所有）。这些指数还可以按人口分组进行加法分解，这一特性有助于揭示谁是赢家谁是输家。分析还提请注意少数收入很少的人所引起的规范和统计问题。
Trends in real national income are typically assessed using aggregate indicators such as GDP per capita, or mean household income, whereas the income distribution literature focuses on trends in income inequality. By contrast this paper takes an integrated approach to real national income measurement; it uses methods incorporating both size and distributional considerations, and applies them to household income microdata in order to measure changes in real income in the U.K. during the 1980s. A parametric class of decomposable real income indisces is proposed which complements quasi-ordering methods such as rank and generalised dominance criteria by telling us how much real income increased over the period (if at all). The indices are also additively decomposable by population subgroup, a property which helps reveal who the gainers and losers were. The analysis also draws attention to the normative and statistical issues raised by the presence of a few very small incomes.
