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

这个项目对国家和社区的好处是双重的。首先，了解净资产、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办法，而移民解决这一预算问题的能力，则取决于确定外国和本土出生的家庭积累财富的方式是否相同。其次，该项目使澳大利亚能够对种族、民族、出生与经济福利之间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.
