Summary

This study developed a framework for quantifying the amount of risk sharing among states in the United States, and constructed data that allowed researchers to decompose the cross-sectional variance in gross state product into levels of smoothing capital markets, federal government, and credit market smoothing.

The collection contains 67 Excel data files, that were grouped into 17 datasets based on the organizational ordering schematic provided by the principal investigator, including:

  • Dataset 1 - State Personal Income: n=1,938, 51 variables
  • Dataset 2 - Federal Taxes and Contributions: n=17,948, 424 variables
  • Dataset 3 - State Population: n=1,887, 51 variables
  • Dataset 4 - State and Local Personal Taxes: n=11,526, 306 variables
  • Dataset 5 - Interests on State and Local Funds: n=7,609, 205 variables
  • Dataset 6 - Transfers: n=5,814, 153 variables
  • Dataset 7 - Non Federal State Income: n=1,887, 51 variables
  • Dataset 8 - Federal Grants: n=1,938, 51 variables
  • Dataset 9 - Federal Transfers to Individuals: n=27,415, 766 variables
  • Dataset 10 - Federal Personal Taxes: n=1,938, 51 variables
  • Dataset 11 - State Government Expenditure: n=1,887, 51 variables

Study Purpose

A decomposition of the cross-sectional variance in gross state product, yields a relation where those cross-sectional variances represented a fraction of the shocks to gross state product smoothed via capital markets, by the federal fiscal system, and via credit markets. The main objective of the study was to estimate the components of this relationship.

Study Design

An assessment of various channels of risk sharing among U.S. states was utilized in order to determine and develop a framework for quantifying the amount of risk sharing among states in the United States, and construct data that allowed the researchers to decompose the cross-sectional variance in gross state product into several components which are referred to as "levels of smoothing." The channels of risk-sharing assessed by this study include:

  • Cross-ownership of productive assets, facilitated by a developed Capital Market [CAPITAL MARKET SMOOTHING]
  • The tax transfer system utilized for income smoothing [FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SMOOTHING]
  • Consumption smoothing by adjusting asset portfolios (i.e. lending and borrowing on national credit markets) [CREDIT MARKET SMOOTHING]
