摘要

2020年，在职户主参与股市的比例大幅上升，在德国增长了约25%。一个主要原因是需要使用在家工作（WfH）。我们通过将WfH添加到一大组解释变量来说明这一点。此外，我们基于行业特定的wfh容量水平实现了工具变量估计。传输通道似乎是通过增加可用时间和时间灵活性来工作的。此外，我们表明，WfH使更广泛的人群（包括低收入群体）可以进入股票市场，这可能有助于降低未来的收入和财富不平等。

Stock market participation, work from home, and inequality

Stock market participation among working household heads jumped upwards in 2020 - in Germany by about 25 %. A major cause is the required use of work from home (WfH). We show this by adding WfH to a large set of explanatory variables. Moreover, we implement an instrumental variables estimation based on industry-specific levels of WfH-capacity. The transmission channels seem to work via increased available time and time flexibility. Moreover, we show that WfH makes the stock market accessible to a broader population, including lower income groups, which may contribute to lower income and wealth inequality in the future.
