The distribution of wealth in Spain: Evidence from capitalized income tax data (1984-2013)
This paper combines different sources (income tax data, national accounts, wealth surveys) and the capitalization method in order to deliver consistent, unified wealth distribution series and their asset composition for Spain over the 1984-2013 period, with detailed breakdowns by age and gender over the 1999-2013 sub-period. My findings point out a moderate decrease in the top 10% wealth share from the mid-eighties until beginning of the 1990s, at the expense of the increase in both the middle 40% and the bottom 50% of the distribution. The top 10% wealth then starts to increase again, reaching a similar level to the mid-eighties in 2008, and then it stabilizes. The bulk in both housing and offshore wealth, together with rising inequality in rates of return and savings rates have pushed toward rising wealth concentration.
