On the Measurement of Inherited Wealth [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This paper aims to compare two possible measure of inherited wealth in Great Britain. One is computed by relating the size of estates left by wealth leavers in a particular year with the size of estates of their fathers. The present authors have used this measure in an attempt to throw some light on the importance of inheritance for a sample of top wealth leavers dying in the 1950s and 1960s in the country. The second measure presented in this paper introduces time into the comparison. In part I of this article the authors describe the sample data, and the results of the previous research, part II compares the growth rate criterion with the results of the previous research, and in part III the results of these research are discussed.
