The Distribution of Household Wealth in Australia: Evidence from the 2010 HILDA Survey
نویسنده
چکیده
The HILDA Survey is a panel survey of around 7 000 households conducted annually since 2001, the latest being in 2010. Every four years the survey includes a wealth module that asks respondents detailed questions about their holdings of assets and liabilities; the wealth module was included in the survey in 2002, 2006 and 2010. These data are especially interesting because they can shed light on the composition and distribution of households’ assets and liabilities.
