Technology and the Changing Family: A Unified Model of marriage, Divorce, Educational Attainment and Married Female Labor-Force Participation
Greenwood, Jeremy; Guner, Nezih; Kocharkov, Georgi; … - Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Universität Konstanz - 2015
Marriage has declined since 1960, with the drop being bigger for non-college educated individuals versus college educated ones. Divorce has increased, more so for the non-college educated. Additionally, positive assortative mating has risen. Income inequality among households has also widened. A...

Technology and the Changing Family: A Unified Model of Marriage, Divorce, Educational Attainment and Married Female Labor-Force Participation
Greenwood, Jeremy; Guner, Nezih; Kocharkov, Georgi; … - Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Universität Konstanz - 2012
Marriage has declined since 1960, with the drop being bigger for non-college educated individuals versus college educated ones. Divorce has increased, more so for the non-college educated vis-à-vis the college educated. Additionally, assortative mating has risen; i.e., people are more likely to...

Intergenerational income persistence : measures of intergenerational persistence can be indicative of equality of opportunity, but the relationship is not clear cut
Blanden, Jo - 2015
A strong association between incomes across generations - with children from poor families likely to be poor as adults - is frequently considered an indicator of insufficient equality of opportunity. Studies of such "intergenerational persistence," or lack of intergenerational mobility, are...

Explaining intergenerational mobility : the role of fertility and family transfers
Daruich, Diego; Kozlowski, Julian - 2018
fertility and transfers dampen intergenerational mobility. To evaluate the quantitative importance of this mechanism, we extend … fertility, family transfers, and education. The model, estimated to the US in the 2000s, implies that a counterfactual flat … income-fertility profile would-through the equalization of initial conditions-increase intergenerational mobility by 6%. The …

On Differential Fertility and the Intergenerational Dynamics of Inequality
Dennig, Francis; Tarbush, Bassel - 2021
We study the implications of differential fertility on cross-sectional inequality in a canonical model of the … intergenerational transmission of capital. Our main theoretical result shows that, with differential fertility, there exist stable … fertility. We establish convergence results and derive a mathematical expression for these novel atomless steady states in terms …

Understanding Permanent Black-White Earnings Inequality
Badel, Alejandro - 2010
For more than 30 years, the ratio of average black earnings to average white earnings has remained close to 0.6. Additionally, US cities have remained dramatically segregated by race. This paper provides a joint theory of pre-market skills and residential segregation for quantitatively studying...

Long-Term Evolution of Inequality of Opportunity
Bussolo, Maurizio - 2020
The main goal of this paper is to document and analyze the long-term evolution of inequality of opportunity (IOp) in the four largest European economies (France, Germany, Great Britain and Italy). Relative IOp represents an important portion of total income inequality, with values ranging from...
