A project sponsored by the Review
of the Economic Dynamics. The purpose of the project is to produce a set of
papers that document a series of comparable facts regarding the distribution of
resources and the evolution of this distribution in several developed and
developing countries. These facts should be helpful to macroeconomists who aim
to understand and analyze macroeconomic dynamics starting from individual
behavior. These facts together, when possible, with the original data used will
be made avaialable to other researchers on this website. Facts documented
include, among others, the evolution of income, consumption and work
distribution over time, the evolution of income and consumption dispersion over
age. For more details on these facts please see the guidelines
for the preparation of the papers. The papers, provided they'll pass a
standard revision process, will be published on a special issue of the Review
of Economic Dynamics
