In this paper we develop a novel semi-nonparametric panel copula model with external covariates for the study of wage rank dynamics. We focus on nonlinear dependence between the current and lagged worker's ranks in the wage residuals distribution, conditionally on individual characteristics. We...

We analyze how earnings dynamics changed in the US after the financial crisis of 2007- 2009. Differently from most models for earnings mobility, we allow persistence patters to depend semi-nonparametrically on both the past individual position in the distribution and on a set of individual-level...
