We provide novel evidence of the impact of coresidence bias on a large set of indicators of intergenerational mobility … coefficient. Then, we expand our analysis to show that there are indicators with varying average levels of coresidence bias going … from less than 1% to more than 10%. However, some indicators with minimal bias produce high levels of re-ranking that make …

The causes and consequences of the intergenerational persistence of inequality are a topic of great interest among various fields in economics. However, until now, issues of data availability have restricted a broader and cross-national perspective on the topic. Based on rich sets of harmonized...

We explore the role of social mobility as a driver of economic development. First, we map the geography of intergenerational mobility of education for 52 Latin American regions, as well as its evolution over time. Then, through a new weighting procedure that considers the participation of...

Intergenerational mobility has decreased over time for the cohorts of children born between the 1960s and the 1980s in Canada. At the same time, returns to education have gone up. Both factors have contributed to exacerbating income gaps between children of parents with and without secondary...
