Racial and Ethnic Differences in the Geography of Intergenerational Mobility
Davis, Jonathan - 2020
We use the NLSY79 to produce the first estimates of intergenerational mobility in the U.S. by both region and race/ethnicity. We show that gaps in intergenerational mobility by race are significantly larger than those by region. In particular, there is no region in the United States where it is...
