This paper develops a technique for estimating age- profiles of earnings mobility using conditional kernel density estimation and establishes their statistical inference. Both pointwise and simultaneous confidence intervals are derived. The paper then examines the age- profile of earnings...

This paper reviews various mobility measures and establishes their asymptotic sampling distribution. The paper then examines the development of earnings mobility for both sexes in Germany between 1983 and 1991 using the Socio-Economic Panel. --

This paper deals with nonparametric inference for second order stochastic dominance of two random variables. If their distribution functions are unknown they have to be inferred from observed realizations. Thus, any results on stochastic dominance are in uenced by sampling errors. We establish...

This paper suggests a method of depicting mobility processes of income or earnings. It makes use of nonparametric quantile regression based on bivariate kernel density estimation. The method is illustrated with a comparison of German and US income mobility. --
