This appendix accompanies the paper Income and Wealth Inequality in America, 1949-2016. Section A provides further details on the SCF+ data and its construction. We also explain how we implement the approaches for demographic adjustment and how we identify hand-to-mouth households in the data. Section B discusses the coverage of the SCF+ at the top of the income and wealth distribution. Section C discusses evidence on mobility between wealth groups based on Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) data. Section D provides sensitivity tests for Gini coefficients excluding negative wealth or income observations and for imputing rental income from owner-occupied housing. Section E provides additional results on Gini coefficients for different asset classes, a decomposition of house price exposure for different wealth groups over time, and presents time series for income and wealth shares, Gini coefficients for income and wealth, and for the portfolio composition along the wealth distribution.
