We use the Annual Report of Household Income and Expenditure Survey from the Korea National Statistical Office during 1979~2010 periods to estimate detailed consumer expenditure patterns by income deciles. The main empirical results that we find are as follows: First, the inequality of income distribution is increased expenditure categories, which implied that these polices makes the personal income taxation less progressive. Second, the porposed sliding scheme for education subsidy programs could help provide more equitable education for low-income families than the flat scheme across income levels, and the former would be more desirable than the latter for transfer to households are evaluated as effective redistribution tools for targeted groups such as low-income families. These results indicate that government welfare programs such as direct compensation payments, price support and tax exemptions for low-income households should be well devised and more targeted for the purpose of redistribution.??? ????????? 2011??? ??????(?????????????????????)??? ???????????? ????????????????????? ????????? ????????? ?????????(NRF-2011-300-B00062
