Congressional Budget Office

No 53345, Working Papers from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: This paper describes CBO’s new framework for analyzing the distribution of household income and how means-tested transfers and federal taxes affect that distribution. The new framework will use a new measure of income—income before transfers and taxes—to rank households and calculate average means-tested transfer rates and average federal tax rates.
