OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

We investigate the impact of intergenerational wealth transfers on wealth levels and inequality, exploiting rich cross-country household survey data and focusing on Britain. Making use of the cross-sectional and longitudinal components of the Wealth and Assets Survey, we analyse patterns of intergenerational transfer receipt by gender. We assess the extent to which differences in the scale and nature of these receipts contribute to the gender wealth gap overall and across different wealth components.
