Immobile Australia : surnames show strong status persistence, 1870-2017
Clark, Gregory; Leigh, Andrew; Pottenger, Mike - 2017
The paper estimates long run social mobility in Australia 1870–2017 tracking the status of rare surnames. The status information includes occupations from electoral rolls 1903-1980, and records of degrees awarded by Melbourne and Sydney universities 1852-2017. Status persistence was strong...

Opportunity and inequality across generations
Koeniger, Winfried; Zanella, Carlo - 2022
We evaluate a temporary public sector employment program targeted at individuals with weak labor market attachment, applying dynamic inverse probability weighting to account for dynamic selection. We show that the program is successful in increasing employment and reducing social assistance....

Income inequality, equality of opportunity, and intergenerational mobility
Corak, Miles - 2013
Families, labor markets, and public policies all structure a child's opportunities and determine the extent to which adult earnings are related to family background. Cross-country comparisons and the underlying trends suggest that these drivers will most likely lower the degree of...

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...

Evidence on intergenerational income transmission using complete dutch population data
Carmichael, Fiona; Darko, Christian K.; Ercolani, Marco G. - 2019
We estimate the intergenerational elasticity (IGE) of income for the Netherlands using complete population data for around 177,000 28-year olds. We find that IGEs are much lower when actual individual income data are used rather than proxies or aggregates for income. Though low, daughters' IGEs...

We present the first Australian estimates of intergenerational mobility that draw on direct observations of income from two generations. Using panel data for three birth cohorts of young adults from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics Australia survey, the estimated intergenerational...
