Empirical Strategies to Eliminate Life-Cycle Bias in the Intergenerational Elasticity of Earnings Literature

Stuhler, Jan - 2010

I argue that the empirical strategies for estimation of the intergenerational elasticity of lifetime earnings that are currently employed in the literature might not eliminate bias arising from life-cycle effects. Specifically, I demonstrate that procedures based on the generalized...

Heterogeneous Income Profiles and Life-Cycle Bias in Intergenerational Mobility Estimation

Nybom, Martin - 2011

Research on intergenerational income mobility is based on current income since data on lifetime income are typically … not available for two generations. However, using snapshots of income over shorter periods causes a so-called life …-cycle bias if the snapshots cannot mimic lifetime outcomes. Using uniquely long series of Swedish income data, we show that …

Estimating Intergenerational and Assortative Processes in Extended Family Data

Collado, Dolores; Ortuno-Ortin, Ignacio; Stuhler, Jan - 2022

We quantify intergenerational and assortative processes by comparing different degrees of kinship within the same generation. This horizontal approach yields more, and more distant kinship moments than traditional methods, which allows us to account for the transmission of latent advantages in a...
