Mobility comparisons : theoretical definitions and people's perceptions

Michele Bernasconi, Giulio Cinquanta, Valentino Dardanoni and Vincenzo Prete

Comparing mobility is an important but controversial issue. In this paper, we argue that in a specific and relevant case, there exists a univocal and non-controversial definition of greater (exchange) mobility that allows for unambiguous comparisons. We conducted a questionnaire experiment to investigate whether people’s perceptions of social mobility align with this definition, and we found that people’s choices are broadly in line with the theoretical predictions.
