A new WP constructs the 1st continuous long-run series of top wealth concentration for South Korea, using estate tax tabulations & the mortality multiplier method. It documents two distinct regimes: low, stable concentration from 1970-1990, followed by an abrupt rise in the late '90s. bit.ly/4wzv5gL

People misperceive their rank in the wealth distribution: the wealthy underestimate how much they have compared to others, and people at the bottom of the distribution think that they are doing better compared to others than they actually do. Our research shows that misperceptions shape for savings.
