Zusammenfassung:This paper examines proportionate contributions of states to total income dispersion among the states within the regions in the United States from 1929 to 1997.

The coefficient of variation for each region on a yearly basis is employed. The results provide evidence for minor differences in contribution to regional income dispersion between component states.
