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? 410 0$aStudies in income and wealth ;$v46. 606 $aWealth$zUnited States 606 $aInheritance and succession$zUnited States 610 $awealth, generations, transmission, distribution, poverty, acquisition, saving, mating, marriage, ownership, spouses, assets, divorce, gifts, bequests, inheritance, aging, nonfiction, economics, succession, testators, family size, race, class, mobility, public policy, government, retirement, labor, economy, mathematical models, capitalism, capital. 615 0$aWealth 615 0$aInheritance and succession 676 $a330 s 676 $a339.2/2/0973 686 $aQI 200$2rvk 700 $aSmith$b James D.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0148620 701 $aSmith$b James D$0148620 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824765403321 996 $aModeling the distribution and intergenerational transmission of wealth$94059302 997 $aUNINA
