Ranking intersecting Lorenz curves
Aaberge, Rolf (contributor) - 2008
This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To deal with such situations two alternative sequences of...

Robust inequality comparisons
Aaberge, Rolf; Mogstad, Magne - 2010
This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To deal with such situations Aaberge (2009) introduced two...

The effect of product demand on inequality : evidence from the US and the UK
Leonardi, Marco - 2010
This paper examines the relationship between product demand and the pattern of rising skill premia and rising … employment of skilled workers in the US and the UK since the 1980s. If more skilled workers demand more skill-intensive goods …, then an increase in relative skill supply will also induce a shift in relative skill demand. This channel reduces the need …

The effect of school construction on test scores, school enrollment, and home prices
Neilson, Christopher; Zimmerman, Seth D. - 2011
This paper provides new evidence on the effect of school construction projects on home prices, academic achievement, and public school enrollment. Taking advantage of the staggered implementation of a comprehensive school construction project in a poor urban district, we find that, by six years...

Mobility across multiple generations : the iterated regression fallacy
Stuhler, Jan - 2012
Conflicting views about the degree of long-run mobility across multiple generations persist because direct empirical evidence is scarce. Predictions are instead routinely derived by iteration of intergenerational measures, a procedure which implies high long-run mobility even when...

Interpreting trends in intergenerational income mobility
Nybom, Martin; Stuhler, Jan - 2013
We examine how intergenerational income mobility responds to structural changes in a simple theoretical model of intergenerational transmission, deviating from the existing literature by explicitly analyzing the transition path between steady states. We find that mobility depends not only on...
