为了改进收入增长率作为福利变化指标的作用，引入了四个增长和收入分配综合指数，并进行了比较。当应用于美国战后的经济表现时，这些指标大大向上修正了1960年代的福利改善情况，而在1980年代，这些指标显示福利几乎没有扩大，甚至在某些方面有所减少。这些概念上不同的措施所暗示的修订是非常相似的，表明所提出的结果是相当强大的。版权所有1994年由国际收入和财富研究协会。
In order to improve on the income growth rate as an indicator of changes in well-being, four composite indices of growth and income distribution are introduced and compared. When applied to the United States postwar economic performance, these indicators significantly revise upward the welfare improvements during the 1960s, while for the 1980s they show little expansion and, for some measures, even reductions of well-being. The revisions implied by these conceptually different measures are very similar indicating that the results presented are considerably robust.
