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...

Rising inequality, declining mobility : the evolution of intergenerational mobility in Germany

Baarck, Julia; Bode, Moritz; Peichl, Andreas - 2025

This paper is the first to show that intergenerational income mobility in Germany has decreased over time. We provide estimates of intergenerational persistence for the birth cohorts 1968-1987 and document that the rank-rank slope rises sharply for cohorts born in the late 1970s and early 1980s,...

Skills, parental sorting, and child inequality

Nybom, Martin; Plug, Erik J. S.; Klaauw, Bas van der; … - 2022

This paper formulates a simple skill and education model to explain how better access to higher education leads to stronger assortative mating on skills of parents and more polarized skill and earnings distributions of children. Swedish data show that in the second half of the 20th century more...

Opportunity and inequality across generations

Social mobility and economic development

Neidhöfer, Guido; Ciaschi, Matías; Gasparini, Leonardo; … - 2021

We explore the role of social mobility as a driver of economic development. First, we map the geography of intergenerational mobility of education for 52 Latin American regions, as well as its evolution over time. Then, through a new weighting procedure that considers the participation of...

Social mobility and economic development : evidence from a panel of Latin American regions

Neidhöfer, Guido; Ciaschi, Matías; Gasparini, Leonardo; … - 2021

We explore the role of social mobility as a driver of economic development by constructing a panel data set that includes measures of intergenerational mobility of education at the sub-national level in Latin America. First, we map the geography of educational mobility for 52 Latin American...

Are we richer than our parents were? : absolute income mobility in Australia

Kennedy, Tomas; Siminski, Peter - 2021

We conduct the first dedicated study of absolute income mobility in Australia, for 1950-2019. About two-thirds of 30-34 year-olds have higher real incomes than their parents did at the same age, and this has been stable for 25 years. This is among the highest levels of absolute mobility in the...
