Abstract
This paper applies a SAM multiplier decomposition to investigate the impact of the structure of consumption demand on the inequality in the distribution of personal income in Italy in 1980. The household sector is divided into socioeconomic groups by income size. The results show a low capacity on the part of the poorest deciles to generate income for the household sector. The decomposition shows that the benefits originating from an intially equal increase in disposable income across population deciles increasingly favor the upper-middle income deciles.
