When measure matters: Coresidence bias and intergenerational mobility revisited

Muñoz S., Ercio; Siravegna, Mariel - 2023

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 …
