Robust standard errors in parentheses. Subscript t-1, t-2, and t-3 represent variables measured in one, two, and three survey periods earlier (2, 4, and 6 years prior to the measurement of wealth). Total NW represents total net worth. Regressions control for the log of intergenerational transfers, year-of-survey dummies, and Census division fixed effects. *** p < 0.01; ** p < 0.05; * p < 0.10
