SUMMARY:Marius BRÜLHART (University of Lausanne) - "Unfree Wills: Inheritance Rules\, Bequest Motives\, and Wealth Diffusion"
DESCRIPTION:Applied Micro Seminar : Every Tuesday \nTime: 12:15 pm – 13:30 pm\nDate: September\, 22\nRoom : 3001 \nMarius BRÜLHART  (University of Lausanne) “Unfree Wills: Inheritance Rules\, Bequest Motives\, and Wealth Diffusion” \nAbstract : We examine how liberalizing inheritance law can affect the diffusion of wealth beyond family dynasties. Exploiting a reform that reduced mandatory estate shares for children and surviving parents\, we analyze testator responses in a unique dataset of 16\,887 anonymous online wills. We find that greater testamentary freedom led testators to increase transfers primarily to spouses and life partners\, but also to nonrelatives and charitable organizations. According to our estimated ’marginal diffusion propensity’\, approximately one third of newly discretionary bequests were reallocated towards recipients outside the core family. Liberalization could result in additional annual extra-dynastic bequests of up to 0.8% of national income in countries with restrictive inheritance rules. \nWith Laia Soler (August 2026).
