摘要:
We use transition matrix and regression analysis to explore intergenerational wealth mobility in Taiwan. Using estate tax return data from 2001 to 2018, our results suggest that intergenerational elasticity (IGE) was about 0.31 and rank-rank correlation was 0.37. Compared with results from other countries, wealth mobility in Taiwan is higher. We also find that families in the fifth quintile (top 20%) were more likely to maintain their wealth status than other quintiles. IGE in the fifth quintile was 0.69, but that in the first quintile was 0.06.
