Strong intergenerational associations in wealth have fueled a longstanding debate over why children of wealthy parents … tend to be well off themselves. We investigate the role of family background in determining children's wealth accumulation … by Norwegian parents to a population panel data set with detailed information on disaggregated wealth portfolios and …

We present the first estimates of intergenerational wealth correlation for Australia, using HILDA. The rank correlation … varies greatly by child age when wealth is observed, from 0.1 before age 30, to 0.5 after age 40. Most children in our ….306. Wealth correlations are difficult to interpret and not well grounded in theory. We therefore also implement Boserup et al …

We study the role of family wealth for children's educational achievement using novel and unique Swedish register data …. In particular, we focus on the relationship between grandparents' wealth and their grandchildren’s educational … achievement. Doing so allows us to reliably establish the independent role of wealth in contributing to long-term inequalities in …

Rising wealth inequality has spurred an increased interest in understanding how and why wealth is correlated across … generations.
