Løken, Katrine V.; Mogstad, Magne; Wiswall, Matthew - 2010
This paper uses a rich Norwegian dataset to re-examine the causal relationship between family income and child outcomes. Motivated by theoretical predictions and OLS results that suggest a nonlinear relationship, we depart from previous studies in allowing the marginal effects on children's...

Labor income dynamics and the insurance from taxes, transfers, and the family
Blundell, Richard W.; Graber, Michael; Mogstad, Magne - 2014
What do labor income dynamics look like over the life-cycle? What is the relative importance of persistent shocks, transitory shocks and heterogeneous profiles? To what extent do taxes, transfers and the family attenuate these various factors in the evolution of life-cycle inequality? In this...

Educational assortative mating and household income inequality
Eika, Lasse; Mogstad, Magne; Zafar, Basit - 2014
We investigate the pattern of educational assortative mating, its evolution over time, and its impact on household income inequality. To these ends, we use rich data from the United States and Norway over the period 1980-2007. We find evidence of positive assortative mating at all levels of...

Educational Assortative Mating and Household Income Inequality
Eika, Lasse - 2019
We document the degree of educational assortative mating, how it evolves over time, and the extent to which it differs between countries. Our analysis focuses on the U.S. but also uses data from Denmark, Germany, the U.K., and Norway. We find evidence of positive assortative mating at all levels...
