This study investigates the role of intergenerational mobility in explaining the native-immigrant income gap in Estonia …. We find that an increase of 1 percentile in parent income rank is associated with on average 0.2 percentile increase in … child income rank for both natives and second-generation immigrants. Results from a detailed Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition …

Our analysis of intergenerational earnings mobility modifies the Becker-Tomes model to incorporate the intergenerational transmission of employers, which is predicted to increase the intergenerational elasticity of earnings. About 6% of young Canadian men have the same main employer as their...

perceptions of intergenerational mobility change along the income distribution. Empirically, we conduct a survey experiment in … Austria and show that the average treatment effect of information on perceptions is mostly driven by higher income individuals … while low-income respondents hardly react. We replicate this result for the United States and Germany using data from two …

The estimation of intergenerational mobility ideally requires full income histories to determine lifetime incomes …. However, as applications are typically based on shorter snapshots, estimates are subject to lifecycle bias. Using long income … of income processes: children from more affluent families tend to experience faster income growth, even conditional on …

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....

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 degree of persistence than previous estimates available for developed economies …
