We show with theory and simulations that even using a 30-year income average can result in a small positive spurious …Intergenerational persistence estimates are susceptible to several well-documented biases arising from income … measurement, and it has become standard practice to construct income measures to mitigate these.

Assessments of whose income growth is the greatest and whose is the smallest are typically based on comparisons of … income changes for income groups (e.g. rich versus poor) or income values (e.g. quantiles).

We provide an analytical framework within which changes in income inequality over time are related to the pattern of … income growth across the income range, and the reshuffling of individuals in the income pecking order. We use it to explain … income inequality grew substantially), and also for income growth to have been pro-poor. Income growth was also pro-poor in …
