Evolution of US wealth inequality at SW 2022

We presented our research on the evolution of wealth inequality in the United States at the 10th Summer Workshop on Macroeconomics and Finance. Since there are so many factors that could have contributed to the observed increase in wealth inequality, our work garnered interest from the participants of the Summer Workshop. Among other things, we were inquired about the role of savings related to health expenditures and bequests. We are currently incorporating suggestions so stay tuned for an updated version!
