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...

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....

Inequality of opportunity and intergenerational persistence in Latin America

Brunori, Paolo; Ferreira, Francisco H. G.; Neidhöfer, Guido - 2023

How strong is the transmission of socio-economic status across generations in Latin America? To answer this question, we first review the empirical literature on intergenerational mobility and inequality of opportunity for the region, summarizing results for both income and educational outcomes....

Intergenerational Mobility in the Land of Inequality

Britto, Diogo G. C.; Fonseca, Alexandre Andrade de; … - 2022

We provide the first estimates of intergenerational income mobility for a developing country, namely Brazil. We measure formal income from tax and employment registries, and we train machine learning models on census and survey data to predict informal income. The data reveal a much higher...

Measuring family (dis)advantage : lessons from detailed parental information

Vries, Sander de - 2025

This paper provides new insights on the importance of family background by linking 1.7 million Dutch children's incomes to an exceptionally rich set of family characteristics - including income, wealth, education, occupation, crime, and health. Using a machine learning approach, I show that...

Labor market polarization and intergenerational mobility : theory and evidence

Hennig, Jan-Luca - 2021

In this paper I investigate the causal relationship between labor market polarization and intergenerational mobility, two of the most important features of advanced labor markets in recent decades. The former relates to the disappearance of middle-wage routine jobs and the rise of both high- and...

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...

Inequality from generation to generation : the United States in comparison

Corak, Miles - 2016

To understand the degree of intergenerational mobility in the United States, and the differences between Americans and others, it is important to appreciate the workings and interaction of three fundamental institutions: the family, the market, and the state. But comparisons can also be...
