The Distribution of Land in Luxembourg (1766–1872): Family-Level Wealth Persistence in the Midst of Institutional Change
分析了1766至1872年间卢森堡迪德朗日地区五代的家族财富不平等与社会流动性，发现尽管法国革命废除了封建制度并降低了土地基尼系数，但家族在土地财富分配中的相对位置保持稳定，表明家族传承机制限制了社会流动。
The paper analyzes family-level wealth inequality and social mobility in Dudelange (Luxembourg) over five generations between 1766 and 1872, a period that saw the end of feudal social relations. While the integration of Luxembourg into the French revolutionary regime produced a reduction in the Gini coefficient for the ownership of land, the social mobility analysis reveals a relative stability of family positions within the land-wealth distribution throughout the period. This shows that family-level transmission mechanisms limit social mobility and strongly advantage those with ancestors owning property wealth, even when there are significant changes in the organization of property relations.
