DESCRIPTION:Christine Percheski\, Associate Professor of Sociology at North
 western University\, will give a talk as part of the Sociology Colloquium 
 spring series. \n\nTitle:\n\nWealth\, Sibship Size\, and Economic Transfer
 s between Siblings in Adulthood\n\n \n\nAbstract:\n\nOver 90% of U.S. adul
 ts have siblings\, but we know little about how siblings affect each other
 ’s economic resources in adulthood. I investigate how sibship size and w
 ealth are linked in the United States and possible mechanisms underlying t
 his association. With data from multiple datasets\, I show that sibship si
 ze is predictive of wealth in adulthood\, net of many individual character
 istics. With data from the Survey of Consumer Finances and my own new data
  collection\, I also show that economic transfers between siblings are rel
 atively common\, patterned along axes of inequalities\, and vary by sibshi
 p size. I argue that sibship size an underappreciated mechanism in the rep
 roduction of economic inequality in the contemporary U.S.
