Intergenerational Wealth Mobility and the Role of Inheritance: Evidence from Multiple Generations. Adermon, A., Lindahl, M., & Waldenström, D. 2016. Unpublished manuscriptLink doi abstract bibtex 3 downloads This study estimates intergenerational correlations in mid-life wealth across three generations, and a young fourth generation, and examines how much of the parent-child association that can be explained by inheritances. Using a Swedish data set we find parent- child rank correlations of 0.3– 0.4 and grandparents-grandchild rank correlations of 0.1– 0.2. Conditional 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 per cent of the parent-child wealth correlation while earnings and education are only able to explain 25 per cent.
