This thesis investigates how asset markets affect macroeconomic outcomes and inequality. In the first chapter, I study the contribution of return heterogeneity for wealth inequality. First, I document that wealthier U.S. households earn, on average, higher returns on their wealth: moving from the 20th to the 99th percentile of the wealth distribution raises the average return on wealth from 3.6% to 8.3% a year. Second, I find that considering both earnings and return heterogeneity in a model of household wealth accumulation can fully account for the top 10% wealth share observed in the data (76%), which cannot be explained by earnings differences alone. The second chapter is dedicated to the study of asset price bubbles in economies ...
