This paper proposes tests for stochastic dominance in mobility based on the empirical likelihood ratio. Two views of … mobility are considered, either based on measures of absolute mobility or on transition matrices. First-order and second …-order dominance conditions in mobility are first derived, followed by the derivation of statistical inferences techniques to test a …

This paper proposes techniques to test whether growth has been pro-poor. We first review different definitions of pro-poorness and argue for the use of methods that can generate results that are robust over classes of pro-poor measures and ranges of poverty lines. We then provide statistical...

We propose a DSGE model with income heterogeneity to help discriminate across competing explanations of the cross-sectional divergence in debt-to-income ratios in US data. We show that for a DSGE model to be consistent with the data, the divergence in income growth should not be anticipated and...
