Great to see this fantastic write-up by @agoodmanbacon for the @OIGInstitute about my work with @EDerenoncourt @ckim_econ and @MSchularick on the portfolio differences between Black and white households. Full paper here https://t.co/jznGKD9SBL
If you knew how likely it is you could be unemployed in next recession, how would you invest your money now? Stocks? Bonds? Housing? The mere prospect of those ups and downs shapes the kind of wealth we want to hold--with implications for wealth gaps.

Amazing research by my colleague @CathrinMohr!
From fragmented territories to modern states: New research shows how fiscal reform in the Holy Roman Empire consolidated territories, increasing their size, cohesion, and survival by boosting revenues for military investments and strategic marriages https://t.co/hHBtZ6raHO

Recipe to build wealth: Buy assets. Earn returns. Hold them long for returns to accumulate. Easier said than done, though. And easier done for some Americans than for others. Sr economist @agoodmanbacon on labor market uncertainty and racial wealth gap:

Great to see our work on the changing distribution of Black & white wealth out in the JEP @AEAjournals Thx to my coauthors @EDerenoncourt @MSchularick @ckim_econ Most striking fact to me: "median Black wealth only turned positive between 1940 and 1950" https://t.co/0EVDN3rFMy

A groundbreaking study from @PrincetonU's @EDerenoncourt now forthcoming in @QJEHarvard, shows that progress on closing the Black-white wealth gap in the U.S. has all but stalled since the 1950s and inequality is on track to grow moving forward.

I am looking forward to present today joint work with @EDerenoncourt @ckim_econ and @MSchularick at the @VfS_econ meeting! We study the distribution of Black and white wealth in the United States. We find that half of the Black population did not own any wealth until WW2!
