Estates, Bequests, and Inheritances in Sweden - A Look into the Belinda Databases. Elinder, M., Erixson, O., Escobar, S., & Ohlsson, H. Technical Report 2014:14, Uppsala Center for Fiscal Studies Department of Economics, November, 2014.
Link abstract bibtex 1 download The objective of this paper is to describe two new administrative Swedish databases, referred to as the Belinda databases. Together, these databases contain the most detailed individual-level data on estates, be- quests, and inheritances currently available. We present descriptive statis- tics for the key variables in the databases to give a picture of the size of estates, the content of the bequests, and who the recipients of the in- heritances are. The statistics may serve as a point of reference for other scholars, but also as an illustration of the various research possibilities that the databases provide and how the data can be matched with other ad- ministrative registers. We also, briefly, describe the institutional context regarding intergenerational transfers in Sweden, including the inheritance law and the inheritance tax.
