Sammendrag
Differences in individual wealth holdings are widely viewed as a driving force of

economic inequality. However, as this finding relies on cross-section data, a concern

is that one confuses older with wealthier. We propose a new method to adjust for age

effects in cross-sections, which eliminates wealth inequality due to age, yet preserves

inequality arising from other factors. Using a new cross-country comparable database,

we examine the impact of age adjustments on wealth inequality across countries and

over time. We find that the most widely used method yield a substantially different

picture of age adjusted wealth inequality than our method.
