Abstract
Aggregated Social Accounting Matrices (SAMs) will be constructed for the Portuguese
economy from 1995 to 2000, based on the country’s national accounts statistics. The
economic flows associated with households, enterprises, government and other institutions
will be analysed, as well as their evolution, whilst accounting multipliers will be calculated to
facilitate the study of the effects resulting from changes in household income. Therefore,
SAMs are modelled and structural path analysis will be used for the decomposition of the
calculated multipliers. At the end, the general guidelines will be established for following the
study of income distribution and poverty in Portugal.
Key Words: Social Accounting Matrix; Income distribution.
