摘要

这项研究估计了多达四代人的代际财富相关性，并检验了父母和子女之间的财富关联在多大程度上可以用遗产来解释。使用瑞典最新手工收集的财富和遗赠数据集，我们发现亲子等级相关性为0.3-0.4，祖父母-孙辈等级相关性为0.1-0.2。在这个过程中，遗赠和礼物似乎是核心，至少占到亲子财富相关性的一半，而收入和教育可能只占四分之一。

Intergenerational Wealth Mobility and the Role of Inheritance: Evidence from Multiple Generations

This study estimates intergenerational wealth correlations across up to four generations and examines the degree to which the wealth association between parents and children can be explained by inheritances. Using a Swedish data set with newly hand-collected data on wealth and bequests, we find parent-child rank correlations of 0.3–0.4 and grandparent–grandchild rank correlations of 0.1–0.2. Bequests and gifts appear to be central in this process, accounting for at least half of the parent–child wealth correlation while earnings and education can account for only a quarter.
