摘要

英国家庭纵向研究--"了解社会 "使研究人员能够跟踪个人成长和组成新家庭的过程，因此对于研究包括收入、健康和财富在内的结果的代际持续性非常有价值。我们讨论了 "了解社会 "相对于其他数据集的优缺点，并记录了个人从童年过渡到成年时的流失模式。然后，我们利用 "了解社会 "数据集记录了英国财富的代际持续性。我们发现，财富的代际持续性大于收入的代际持续性，只有约一半的财富代际持续性可以用收入和教育的代际持续性来解释。

Using Understanding Society to study intergenerational wealth mobility in the UK

Understanding Society, the UK Household Longitudinal Study enables researchers to track individuals as they grow up and form new households, making it invaluable for studying the intergenerational persistence of outcomes including income, health and wealth. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Understanding Society relative to other datasets, and document patterns of attrition as individuals transition from childhood to adulthood. We then use Understanding Society to document the intergenerational persistence of wealth in the UK. We find that the intergenerational persistence of wealth is greater than for earnings, and that only around half of the intergenerational persistence of wealth can be explained by the intergenerational persistence in earnings and education.
