Induced innovation, inventors, and the energy transition

Dugoua, Eugenie; Gerarden, Todd D. - 2023

We study how individual inventors respond to incentives to work on "clean" electricity technologies. Using natural gas … price variation, we estimate output and entry elasticities of inventors and measure the medium-term impacts of a price … increase mirroring the social cost of carbon. We find that the induced clean innovation response primarily comes from existing …

Intergenerational income mobility in England and the importance of education

Carneiro, Pedro; Cattan, Sarah; Dearden, Lorraine; … - 2022

We use newly linked UK administrative to estimate absolute income mobility for children born in England in the 1980s. We find huge differences across the country, with a strong North-South gradient. Children from low-income families who grew up in the lowest mobility areas - overwhelmingly in...

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...

Intergenerational mobility in income and economic status in Ethiopia

Haile, Getinet Astatike - 2016

Using data from two comprehensive national labour force surveys conducted in 2005 and 2013, this paper examines the extent of intergenerational mobility in Ethiopia using monetary and non-monetary measures. Quantile regression and OLS based results suggest there is moderate level of "stickiness"...

Rising intergenerational income persistence in China

Fan, Yi; Yi, Junjian; Zhang, Junsen - 2019

This paper documents an increasing intergenerational income persistence in China since economic reforms were introduced in 1979. The intergenerational income elasticity increases from 0.390 for the 1970-1980 birth cohort to 0.442 for the 1981-1988 birth cohort; this increase is more evident...

Does inequality reduce mobility? : the Great Gatsby Curve and its mechanisms

Brandén, Gunnar - 2019

A body of evidence has emerged in the literature on intergenerational mobility documenting that countries with large income differences also have less intergenerational mobility: a relationship known as the Great Gatsby Curve. In this paper, I estimate the Great Gatsby Curve within Sweden...

Intergenerational mobility of education in Vietnam : evidence from the Vietnam War

Khoa Vu; Lo Bue, Maria C. - 2019

Vietnam's education system has recently attracted international attention for exceptional learning outcomes and success in improving schooling outcomes over a short period, despite being a lower-middle-income country. One potential explanation is the substantial increase in parental schooling...

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...

Gender differences in the earnings mobility of migrants

Flake, Regina - 2012

This study analyzes gender differences in the intergenerational earnings mobility of second-generation migrants in Germany. Thereby it takes into account the influence of assortative mating and the parental integration. First, intergenerational earnings elasticities are estimated at the mean and...

Intergenerational mobility : measurement and the role of borrowing constraints and inherited tastes

Caballé, Jordi - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 7 (2016) 4, pp. 393-420

In this paper, I present some popular measures of mobility in economic outcomes within a family across generations. I also discuss two of the most important factors preventing intergenerational mobility: existence of financially constrained individuals and transmission of tastes from parents to...
