Abstract
Arthur Kennickell has contributed significantly to spreading internationally the techniques applied in the US Survey of Consumer Finances for the collection of distributional information on household wealth. In particular, euro area countries are heavily indebted to his sharing of methodological knowledge and deep expertise in the field. Indeed, this paper elaborates on how the euro area Household Finance and Consumption Survey moved forward thanks to a large extent to his transfer of knowledge and hands-on advice.
