内容摘要：We extend the framework in Benhabib, Bisin and Luo (2019) to a nonstationary setup to understand mechanisms driving the rapid increase in wealth inequality and relatively stable intergenerational mobility of wealth in the U.S. We consider four factors driving the changes: heterogeneous labor income, heterogeneous returns, increasing saving rates with wealth, as well as different paths in taxes for labor income versus capital income. We highlight the different effects of labor and capital income taxes on the changes on wealth inequality.
