Abstract
Recent decades have seen substantial increases in wealth inequality; this is particularly troubling given the high persistence of this inequality across generations. Yet, we have surprisingly little understanding of how and why wealth is transmitted across generations. Is this persistence driven by innate biological differences across families? Or is it driven by growing up in a different environment with access to different opportunities? In the 2024 Downing Public Lecture, Professor Sandra E. Black discusses the economics research that tries to answer this question, focusing on how one can disentangle the role of nature versus nurture.
近几十年来，财富不平等现象大幅增加；鉴于这种不平等现象在几代人之间持续存在，这尤其令人担忧。然而，我们对财富如何以及为何跨代传递的了解却少得令人吃惊。这种持续性是由不同家庭先天的生理差异造成的吗？还是在不同的环境中成长，获得了不同的机会？在 2024 年唐宁公开讲座中，桑德拉-E-布莱克（Sandra E. Black）教授讨论了试图回答这一问题的经济学研究，重点是如何区分先天与后天的作用。
期刊介绍：
An applied economics journal with a strong policy orientation, The Australian Economic Review publishes high-quality articles applying economic analysis to a wide range of macroeconomic and microeconomic topics relevant to both economic and social policy issues. Produced by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, it is the leading journal of its kind in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. While it is of special interest to Australian academics, students, policy makers, and others interested in the Australian economy, the journal also considers matters of international interest.
