<excerpt><smaller>Hi,

I emailing in hopes that someone may be able to refer me to sources of
data on wealth distribution by decile or quintile for nations of the
world.  Since this seems largely unobtainable (?), I am also looking for
methods of relating wealth distribution to income distribution, so that I
could extrapolate wealth distribution from income distribution
statistics.

<smaller>Second, I am interested in any available data on land ownership
cross-nationally, particularly, land ownership by foreign nationals along
with land ownership within a nation.  I am studying the concentration of
ownership worldwide by ethnic/racial groups defined as marriage-pools,
and the effect on employment/unemployment of persons within that pool.

I have it in my mind that the World Bank's annual _World Development
Report_ has data on concentration of land ownership, and perhaps income
inequality described by quintiles.
