520 3 _aGovernment policies to improve the well-being of low-income people have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. In the mid-1960's. income maintenance payments reached about $35 billion, or 17 percent of all public expenditures in the United States. The studies in this volume, which are introduced and summarized by Otto Eckstein, deal with spe cific aspects of current programs. Henry Aaron seeks to correlate the differences in income maintenance expenditures in twenty-two countries with selected variables, and computes the lifetime income redistributions associated with the U.S. Social Security system. Charles Warden, Jr, uses statistical techniques to classify the costs of the Massachusetts unemployment compensation system according to the types of unemployment which cause them. Lora S. Collins investigates the extent to which interstate variations in expenditures, recipient rates, and average payments under public as sistance programs can be explained by objective economic factors. John W. Dorsey analyzes the economic adjustments of workers to the relocation of an industrial plant. Because some of the workers received very substantial private and public income mainter ince payments his study sheds light on the economic effects of such payments Otto Eckstein directed the preparation of these studies as doctoral dissertations at Harvard University
