Gender and Inheritances. Black, S. E., Devereux, P. J., Landaud, F., & Salvanes, K. G. January 2022. Unpublished manuscript![Gender and Inheritances [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Link abstract bibtex 7 downloads Using administrative data from Norway, we document that gifts and inheritances are a more important component of total income for women than for men. This is particularly the case at the very top of the distribution of total lifetime income and at the top of the net wealth distribution. We find that the gender difference in the ratio of gifts and inheritances to total income received over a 19-year period is not due to gender differences in the receipt of intergenerational transfers but is driven by gender differences in total income. We conclude by comparing gender differences in the distribution of total lifetime income to counterfactual measures where gifts and inheritances are equalized across all individuals and show that gifts and inheritances tend to reduce gender gaps across the distribution.
