Form a cross-section study of the state, we have estimates of the size distribution of personal income in 1963 for twenty-two classes taken from a sample of 22,000 resident individual income tax returns. The intent is to aggregate these classes to a meaningful number based on significant variations in personal consumption functions (a study in process by a member of our staff). Aggregation based on this criteria may produce a class interval which is not sensitive to wage differential between private and public employees.Google Scholar

Chase, Gramley,et al.,op cit,Maryland Tax Study (University of Maryland, 1965), pp. 3–16 discuss Maryland's economic base in depth. The information in the above paragraphs has been summarized from their investigation. Their second chapter (pp. 17–25) presents a projection of probable population, income, and employment growth in the state through 1969.Google Scholar

Sensitivity to income generation for alternative development plans requires specifying several income classes and corresponding personal consumption columns. As previously mentioned we have the benefit of some basic empiric groundwork for twenty-two classes. To keep the number of sectors manageable, our final aggregation will probably specify seven or eight categories.Google Scholar
