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...

'And Yet, it Moves' : Intergenerational Mobility in Italy
Acciari, Paolo - 2019
We link administrative data on tax returns across two generations of Italians to study the degree of intergenerational mobility. We estimate that a child with parental income below the median is expected to belong to the 44th percentile of its own income distribution as an adult, and the...

The Decline in Intergenerational Mobility after 1980
Davis, Jonathan - 2020
We demonstrate that intergenerational mobility declined sharply for cohorts born between 1957 and 1964 compared to those born between 1942 and 1953. The former entered the labor market largely after the large rise in inequality that occurred around 1980 while the latter entered the labor market...

Intergenerational Income Mobility in France : A Comparative and Geographic Analysis
Kenedi, Gustave; Sirugue, Louis - 2022
We provide new estimates of intergenerational income mobility in France for children born in the 1970s using rich administrative data. Since parents’ incomes are not observed, we employ a two-sample two-stage least squares estimation. Our results show that France is characterized by a strong...

Intergenerational Mobility, Gender Differences and the Role of Out-Migration : New Evidence from Spain
Soria-Espin, Javier - 2022
This paper provides the first estimates of intergenerational income mobility in Spain based on rich administrative data linking millions of parents and children through tax returns. Four main results arise. First, Spain is located somewhere in the middle between high-mobility countries such as...

New estimates of intergenerational mobility in Australia
Mendolia, Silvia; Siminski, Peter - 2015
We present new estimates of intergenerational earnings elasticity for Australia. We closely follow the methodology used by Leigh (2007), but use considerably more data (twelve waves of HILDA and four waves of PSID). Our adjusted estimates are intended to be comparable to those for other...

Intergenerational mobility and the rise and fall of inequality : lessons from Latin America
Neidhöfer, Guido - 2016
Countries with high income inequality also show a strong association between parents ́and childrenś economic well-being; i.e. low intergenerational mobility. This study is the first to test this relationship in a between and within country setup, using harmonized micro data from 18 Latin...

Dynastic inequality compared : multigenerational mobility in the US, the UK, and Germany
Neidhöfer, Guido; Stockhausen, Maximilian - 2016
Using harmonized household survey data, we analyse long run social mobility in the US, the UK, and Germany and test recent theories of multigenerational persistence of socio-economic status. In this country comparison setting we find evidence against Gregory Clark's "universal law of social...

Does family background affect earnings through education? : a generalised approach to mediation analysis
Mendolia, Silvia; Siminski, Peter - 2016
We seek to quantify the role of education as a mechanism through which family background affects earnings. To this end, we propose a generalisation of statistical 'mediation analysis'. In our approach, the treatment and mediator can be multidimensional. This allows us to directly and flexibly...
