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 …

This study estimates intergenerational correlations in mid-life wealth across three generations, and a young fourth … on parents' wealth, grandparents' wealth is weakly positively associated with grandchild’s wealth and the parent …-child correlation is basically unchanged if we control for grandparents' wealth. Bequests and gifts strikingly account for at least 50 …

Rising wealth inequality has spurred an increased interest in understanding how and why wealth is correlated across … generations. We exploit plausibly exogenous variation in housing wealth driven by home price changes in different areas to isolate … the causal impact of parental housing wealth during different childhood periods on children's long-run wealth accumulation …

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 …

intergenerational wealth effects. Using panel data from school zones within a large U.S. school district, we find that higher local … quantify this housing wealth channel using an overlapping generations model with neighborhood choice, spatial equilibrium, and … endogenous school quality. Housing market shocks in the model generate large intra- and intergenerational wealth effects, with …
