In the Gale, Houser, Scholz data "FEI" is
family expanded income, not the Treasury's
"family economic income." The former adds
to AGI untaxed income like pension contributions,
exempt interest, Social Security benefits,
AFDC, Foot Stamps, SSI, etc., and 'before-
income' taxes like the payroll tax, corporate
income tax. The only other imputation
is for health insurance. Treasury has further
imputations, such as the imputed rental value
of home ownership.
