We formalize the concept of structural mobility and use the framework of subgroup consistent mobility measurement to derive a relative and an absolute measure of mobility that is increasing both in upward structural mobility and exchange mobility. In our empirical illustration, we contribute...

We develop a directional measure of income mobility. This measure can be expresssed as a rank dependent mean of the individual mobilities in society and allows to give more weight to lower individual mobilities. The class includes the measures of directional mobility encountered in the...
