Abstract Narrative The doctoral student supported by this award will investigate regional changes in income distribution in the United States from 1968 to 1986 by analyzing data from the Current Population Survey compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Her specific interest is in changes in the size and location of the middle segment of the earnings distribution (the "middle class"), which will be defined and measured in two different ways. The purpose of this project is to determine whether the middle class is shrinking as a percentage of the total population, as is often alleged, and if so, how changes in the middle class vary from region to region in the United States. The changes and regional variations documented by the analysis will then be related to national and regional changes in economic structure during the period of analysis. This project will yield important theoretical and policy insights concerning the relationships between regional industrial development and regional income changes.

摘要叙述该奖项支持的博士生将通过分析劳工统计局编制的当前人口调查的数据，调查美国从1968年至1986年在美国收入分配的区域变化。 她的具体兴趣是在收益分配的中间部分的大小和位置（“中产阶级”）的变化，该中间部分将以两种不同的方式定义和衡量。 该项目的目的是确定中产阶级是否按照通常的人口占总数的百分比缩小，如果是这样，中产阶级的变化在美国的地区的变化如何变化。 然后，分析记录的变化和区域变化将与分析期间的国家经济结构的国家和地区变化有关。 该项目将产生有关区域工业发展与区域收入变化之间关系的重要理论和政策见解。
