Spatial and Social Mobility
Borck, Rainald - 2016
income inequality are negatively correlated with relative regional social mobility. In the model, segregation is driven by …-skilled workers. A larger productivity gap does not affect segregation, but causes higher income inequality and lower relative … and residences and an exclusively residential suburban area. The paper demonstrates that both segregation and regional …

Egalitarianism under pressure : toward lower economic mobility in the knowledge economy?
Markussen, Simen; Røed, Knut - 2017
Based on complete population data, with the exact same definitions of family class background and economic outcomes for a large number of birth cohorts, we examine post‐war trends in intergenerational economic mobility in Norway. Despite only mild fluctuations in standard rank‐based summary...

Explaining intergenerational mobility : the role of fertility and family transfers
Daruich, Diego; Kozlowski, Julian - 2018
Poor families have more children and transfer less resources to them. This suggests that family decisions about fertility and transfers dampen intergenerational mobility. To evaluate the quantitative importance of this mechanism, we extend the standard heterogeneous agent life cycle model with...

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...

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....

The impact of risk and mobility in dualistic models : migration under random shocks
Martins, Ana Paula - In: Journal of economics, finance & administrative science 20 (2015) 38, pp. 2-20
In this paper we present and confront the expected outcome of an increase in risk on the regional or sectoral allocation of labor force and employment. The basic frameworks are the benchmark dualistic scenarios. A single-input analysis of a homogeneous product economy is provided. Uncertainty is...

Trade and Labor Market Dynamics : General Equilibrium Analysis of the China Trade Shock
Caliendo, Lorenzo - 2019
We develop a dynamic trade model with spatially distinct labor markets facing varying exposure to international trade. The model captures the role of labor mobility frictions, goods mobility frictions, geographic factors, and input-output linkages in determining equilibrium allocations. We show...

Tipping and residential segregation : a unified schelling model
Zhang, Junfu - 2009
This paper presents a Schelling-type checkerboard model of residential segregation formulated as a spatial game. It … shows that although every agent prefers to live in a mixed-race neighborhood, complete segregation is observed almost all of … the time. A concept of tipping is rigorously defined, which is crucial for understanding the dynamics of segregation …

Human capital, social mobility and the skill premium
Angelopoulos, Konstantinos; Malley, James R.; … - 2013
This paper develops a dynamic general equilibrium model to highlight the role of human capital accumulation of agents differentiated by skill type in the joint determination of social mobility and the skill premium. We first show that our model captures the empirical co-movement of the skill...
