Changing Patterns of Wealth Distribution: Evidence from Ghana
研究了加纳二十年经济快速增长和结构转型期间，家庭财富构成的变化以及女性资产份额的变动，发现土地占比下降、金融资产上升，女性在土地、储蓄和商业资产中的份额增加。
A largely unexplored feature of structural transformation is the change in the composition of an economy’s asset holdings. In most poor economies, assets are concentrated in land. In rich economies, physical and human capital are more important. This paper focuses on the changes in the composition of household wealth and the share of assets owned by women in Ghana over two decades of relatively rapid growth and significant structural changes. We find that land’s share of household portfolios decreased and the share of financial assets increased. Women’s share of land, savings and business assets rose over the period.
