These papers reflect a shift from the traditional cross-sectional measurement to an intertemporal focus by attempting to model mathematically the actual process by which wealth is acquired and transmitted. There are many questions to be answered: What are the factors influencing saving? What is the role of mating? What decides ownership between spouses? How are rare assets distributed by divorce? What are the patterns of behavior in making gifts and bequests? And what is the effect of the relative ages of the persons involved?Studies in income and wealth ;v. 46.WealthUnited StatesInheritance and successionUnited StatesWealthInheritance and succession330 s339.2/2/0973QI 200rvkSmith James D., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut148620Smith James DMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974901603321Modeling the distribution and intergenerational transmission of wealth4359462UNINA
