In our @schechtlm.bsky.social SER article we show that daughters are less likely than sons to receive parental transfers, values tend to be lower & daughters receive different types of asset. This translates into a gender tax gap of 2% for inheritances and 22% for gifts.

Quick look at the UK inheritance tax discussion using the wealthproject.gc.cuny.edu/EIG/ In 2021, the UK raised 0,78% of total tax revenue from inheritance and gifts vs 1,65% in France (in the 1960s, the UK collected over 2,66%!). The UK annually collects about $12 Billion less than France. #EconSky

Favorite figures time? From my Socio-Economic Review paper with Daria Tisch from earlier this year (here: doi.org/10.1093/ser/...) showing how support for a wealth tax drops dramatically among wealthy! #sociology #polisci
