Abstract

In this paper we study dependencies between distributions of personal and households incomes in Poland in 2000 to 2010. For example, the distributions of households incomes in US can be obtained by a convolution of distributions of personal incomes of family members. As was derived from our previous studies for 2005, in Poland there is no such a simple dependency. In principle, there is a very little knowledge about a type of relationship between those incomes in Poland. In the case of US, personal incomes of family members are probably independent of each other. On the other hand, in Poland they are for sure dependant variables. In this paper we study personal and households incomes in Poland, their changes in time and their mutual relationship. Incomes distributions have been described by the three-parameter Dagum function.
