Wealth in Latin America: Evidence from Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay
利用智利、哥伦比亚、墨西哥和乌拉圭的金融调查微观数据，分析家庭财富的构成、分布及其与户主年龄、教育、性别、婚姻状况的关系，并以西班牙为参照。
Abstract Drawing on recently‐available microdata from financial surveys, this paper presents harmonized indicators for household wealth, its components, and its determinants in four Latin American countries (Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay), using Spain as a comparison benchmark. The paper analyzes the relationship between wealth indicators and sociodemographic characteristics of household heads (age, education, gender, marital status). For Uruguay, we are also able to analyze wealth patterns and intergenerational mobility (inheritance, family businesses and parental education).
