摘要翻译:
本文探讨了美国州级家庭收入不平等与宏观经济不确定性之间的关系。利用一个新的大规模宏观经济模型,我们揭示了不平等对国家不确定性冲击反应的地区差异。结果表明,在大多数国家,收入不平等程度都在下降,但在动态响应的形状和大小方面存在明显的异质性。相比之下,少数几个州,主要位于西部和南部人口普查地区,随着时间的推移,收入不平等程度日益加剧。我们发现,这种方向性的反应模式主要是由收入构成和劳动力市场基本面驱动的。此外,预测误差方差分解允许定量评估不确定性冲击在解释收入不平等方面的重要性。研究结果强调,波动性冲击在大多数国家的预测误差方差中占相当大的比例。最后,基于回归的分析揭示了国家特定不平等反应差异背后的驱动力。

英文摘要:
In this paper, we explore the relationship between state-level household income inequality and macroeconomic uncertainty in the United States. Using a novel large-scale macroeconometric model, we shed light on regional disparities of inequality responses to a national uncertainty shock. The results suggest that income inequality decreases in most states, with a pronounced degree of heterogeneity in terms of shapes and magnitudes of the dynamic responses. By contrast, some few states, mostly located in the West and South census region, display increasing levels of income inequality over time. We find that this directional pattern in responses is mainly driven by the income composition and labor market fundamentals. In addition, forecast error variance decompositions allow for a quantitative assessment of the importance of uncertainty shocks in explaining income inequality. The findings highlight that volatility shocks account for a considerable fraction of forecast error variance for most states considered. Finally, a regression-based analysis sheds light on the driving forces behind differences in state-specific inequality responses.
