We present the first Australian estimates of intergenerational mobility that draw on direct observations of income from … two generations. Using panel data for three birth cohorts of young adults from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics … Australia survey, the estimated intergenerational income elasticity is 0.28. Correcting for attenuation bias raises this to 0 …

Intergenerational income elasticities are estimated using samples for urban China (covering many cities) for the years … 1995 and 2002 and compared with results from other studies. We find that the income relation between the pairs: sons and … daughters' and fathers' income is weaker. The income relationship between offspring and mothers was weaker in 1995 than in 2002 …

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 … also explore how changes in intergenerational income persistence is correlated with market reforms, economic development …

We examine how intergenerational income mobility responds to structural changes in a simple theoretical model of …

Research on intergenerational income mobility is based on current income since data on lifetime income are typically … not available for two generations. However, using snapshots of income over shorter periods causes a so-called life …-cycle bias if the snapshots cannot mimic lifetime outcomes. Using uniquely long series of Swedish income data, we show that …
