متن کاملCorrelating Social Mobility and Economic Outcomes∗

We find that higher IM is positively associated with economic activity, education and social capital, and negatively correlated with inequality. Moreover,...

Acknowledging that wage inequality and intergenerational mobility are strongly interrelated, this paper presents a model in which both are jointly determined. The model enables us to study how inequality and mobility are affected by exogenous changes and what determines their correlation. A main implication of the model is that differences in the amount of public subsidies to education and educ...

We show that inducing social identiti...
