【本期主题】Understanding the Unequal Post-Great Recession Wealth Recovery for American Families

The wealth of the U.S. families has not returned to its pre-recession level by 2013, six years after the onset of the Great Recession. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of this slow and uneven episode of wealth recovery, using family level data from the Survey of Consumer Finances 1989-2013. Both descriptive results and regressions controlling for life cycle wealth accumulation show that families of color and less-educated families are particularly falling behind in wealth recovery, as their wealth portfolios are concentrated in housing, but housing market has only recovered very slowly. The decomposition results suggest that homeownership explains about 28 percent of the racial/ethnic wealth gap and 22 percent of the wealth gap between college graduates and high school dropouts. Understanding the uneven wealth recovery has important implications for redesigning asset related policies and narrowing wealth gaps.
