We examine vulnerability to poverty in Tajikistan during the global financial crisis, focusing on the roles played by international migration and remittances, using a formal, practical, and easily decomposable vulnerability measure. Our strategy is to estimate a Markov transition probability...

In this paper, we have used some mobility indexes to measure the rural income movements that happened in the time from 1988 to 2005, and decomposed it with the Fields&OK methods. From the analysis results, we found that income movements could reduce the short-term inequality in rural China, but...

The literature on intergenerational income mobility uses a diverse set of measures and there is limited knowledge about whether these measures provide similar information and yield similar conclusions. We provide a framework to highlight the key concepts and properties of the different...
