Abstract

Die Vermoegensungleichheit in Deutschland zeichnet sich durch eine hohe Konzentration der Unternehmensvermoegen aus, wobei Familienunternehmen eine besondere Bedeutung zukommt. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt zunaechst den Forschungsstand zur Messung und Hoehe der aggregierten Unternehmensvermoegen und ihren Beitrag zur Vermoegensverteilung auf. Auch wird die Entwicklung der auf großen Familienunternehmen basierenden Vermoegen historisch nachgezeichnet. Eine Analyse der boersennotierten Unternehmen zeigt, dass Familienunternehmen sich in ihrer Mittelverwendung von Nicht-Familienunternehmen unterscheiden. Auch unter Beruecksichtigung des steuerpolitischen Umfelds beguenstigt dieses vermoegensrelevante Verhalten die Vermoegensbildung in und durch Familienunternehmen und beeinflusst die Konzentration der Vermoegen an der Spitze der Verteilung.
