Summary/Abstract: In this paper we study dependencies between distributions of personal and households incomes in Poland in 2000 to 2010. For example, the distributions of households incomes in the USA can be obtained by a convolution of distributions of personal incomes of family members. As was derived from our previous studies for 2004, there is no such a simple dependency in Poland. In principle, there is a very little knowledge about a type of relationship between those incomes in Poland. In the case of the USA personal incomes of family members are probably independent of each other. On the other hand, those variables are for sure dependent for Poland. In this paper we study personal and households incomes in Poland, their changes in time and their mutual relationship. Incomes distributions have been described by the three-parameter Dagum function.
