Details The first economists who systematically exploited the flow-of-funds accounts were Ragnar Frisch and Paolo Baffi who evaluated the consequences of central bank operations on the financial statements of both financial and non-financial sectors. This paper studies inequality not only among households but also among firms using disaggregated National Accounts of Japan by converting it into a who-to-whom flow-of-funds matrix (payer-payee matrix) based on the ideas proposed by Richard Stone and Lawrence Klein.
