Wealth

What it is and why it is important

Wealth research investigates the accumulation, distribution, and impact of wealth within and across societies.

Our research helps in developing policies that address economic disparities and promote fairer wealth distribution, thereby enhancing opportunities for upward social mobility across generations.

Key research topics in this field include:

• Patterns and trends in wealth inequality and its drivers.
• The effects of wealth disparities on social mobility and economic opportunities.
• The role of inheritance, savings, and investments in wealth accumulation and intergenerational transfers.
