Abstract

This chapter revisits Pantaleoni’s analysis of wealth distribution in the light of recent empirical evidence on rising inequality. It further contributes new empirical insights into wealth distribution among Italian households, drawing on data from the Bank of Italy’s Survey on Household Income and Wealth from 1991 to 2022. The analysis tracks changes in inequality levels over time, highlighting the social groups or classes that have gained or lost wealth. It also examines the influence of individual and household characteristics on wealth distribution patterns, offering a deeper understanding of the forces driving wealth concentration and economic polarization.
