结合调查、遗产税记录和富豪榜的数据,我们估计了从第一次世界大战到现在澳大利亚的顶级财富份额。我们发现,从1915年到20世纪60年代末,最富有的1%人口的份额下降了三分之二,从20世纪70年代末到2010年,这一比例有所上升。最近的增长在分布的顶端最为明显,从1984年到2012年,前0.001%的财富份额增加了两倍。最高财富份额的趋势与澳大利亚最高收入份额的趋势相似(尽管世纪上半叶财富份额的下降幅度大于收入份额)。自世纪初以来,澳大利亚顶级财富的份额一直低于英国。和美国
Combining data from surveys, inheritance tax records, and rich lists, we estimate top wealth shares for Australia from World War I until the present day. We find that the top 1 percent share declined by two-thirds from 1915 until the late 1960s, and rose from the late 1970s to 2010. The recent increase is sharpest at the top of the distribution, with the top 0.001 percent wealth share tripling from 1984 to 2012. The trend in top wealth shares is similar to that in Australian top income shares (though the drop in the first half of the twentieth century is larger for wealth than income shares). Since the early twentieth century, top wealth shares in Australia have been lower than in the U.K. and U.S.
