Distributional National Accounts: A macroeconomic perspective on income inequality in Germany (DINA GER)

The project attempts to bridge the gap between national accounts income aggregates and inequality studies based on micro data for Germany more systematically. We combine personal income tax statistics, household surveys such as the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), and national accounts data on income distribution in a comprehensive and consistent manner to build “Distributional National Accounts” (DINA).
