Burkhauser, Richard V.; Hérault, Nicolas; Jenkins, Stephen - 2020
The share of women in the top 1% of the UK's income distribution has been growing over the last two decades (as in several other countries). Our first contribution is to account for this secular change using regressions of the probability of being in the top 1%, fitted separately for men and...

Looking for the missing rich : tracing the top tail of the wealth distribution
Bach, Stefan; Thiemann, Andreas; Zucco, Aline - 2018
We analyze the top tail of the wealth distribution in Germany, France, and Spain based on the first and second wave of the Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS). Since top wealth is likely to be underrepresented in household surveys, we integrate big fortunes from rich lists, estimate...

Correcting wealth survey data for the missing rich : the case of Austria
Eckerstorfer, Paul; Halak, Johannes; Kapeller, Jakob; … - 2014
It is a well-known criticism that due to its exponential distribution, survey data on wealth is hardly reliable when it comes to analyzing the richest parts of society. This paper addresses this criticism using Austrian data from the Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS). In doing so...
