The Wealth and Asset Holdings of Native- and Foreign-born Australian Families

这一项目的国家/社区利益是双重的。首先，理解净资产、投资组合配置和财富积累是澳大利亚许多政策辩论的核心。我们减轻人口老龄化造成的预算压力的能力，将取决于找到激励家庭积累更多个人财富的激励措施，而移民解决这一预算问题的能力取决于确定外国出生的家庭和本土出生的家庭是否以同样的方式积累财富。其次，该项目使澳大利亚能够为种族、民族、土生土长与经济福祉之间的关系的国际证据做出独特的贡献。

The national/community benefits of this project are twofold. First, understanding net worth, portfolio allocation, and wealth accumulation is central to a number of Australian policy debates. Our ability to lessen the budget pressures caused by population aging will rest on finding incentives for families to accumulate more personal wealth, while the ability of immigration to solve this budget problem rests on determining whether foreign- and native-born families accumulate wealth in the same way. Second, this project allows Australia to make a unique contribution to the international evidence on the relationship between race, ethnicity, and nativity and economic well being.
