Lifetime statistics
Introduction
This section presents all statistics from ALife data collected using the lifetime approach. The tables in this section are interactive (search, filter and sort).
Sample composition
We restrict our analysis to those individuals aged between 20 and 50 years with non-negative lifetime labour income, capital income, public transfers and income tax. (Lifetime income is calculated as the sum of annual incomes. Please see main paper for details.) We also restrict each cohort to only those individuals who are present in the data consistently in each year. Cohorts are indexed by the year they turned 30.
