Explaining intergenerational mobility : the role of fertility and family transfers
Daruich, Diego; Kozlowski, Julian - 2018
Poor families have more children and transfer less resources to them. This suggests that family decisions about fertility and transfers dampen intergenerational mobility. To evaluate the quantitative importance of this mechanism, we extend the standard heterogeneous agent life cycle model with...

Intergenerational income mobility in England and the importance of education
Carneiro, Pedro; Cattan, Sarah; Dearden, Lorraine; … - 2022
We use newly linked UK administrative to estimate absolute income mobility for children born in England in the 1980s. We find huge differences across the country, with a strong North-South gradient. Children from low-income families who grew up in the lowest mobility areas - overwhelmingly in...

When measure matters : coresidence bias and intergenerational mobility revisited
Muñoz S., Ercio; Siravegna, Mariel - 2023
We provide novel evidence of the impact of coresidence bias on a large set of indicators of intergenerational mobility in education. We begin re-examining a recent claim that the correlation coefficient is less biased than the regression coefficient. Then, we expand our analysis to show that...

Occupational choice and the dynamics of human capital, inequality and growth
Dvorkin, Maximiliano A.; Monge-Naranjo, Alexander - 2019
We construct a dynamic general equilibrium model with occupation mobility, human capital accumulation and endogenous assignment of workers to tasks to quantitatively assess the aggregate impact of automation and other task-biased technological innovations. We extend recent quantitative general...
