TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of measurement error on a variety of measures of inequality and poverty are derived, and they are shown to depend on the measurement error variance and functionals of the error-contaminated income distribution.

TL;DR: The authors examined the impact of family income during childhood on the type of secondary school that German children attend, and found that late-childhood income is a more important determinant of outcomes than early-Childhood income, and income effects are not greater for poor households compared to rich households, other things equal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the effects of individual labour market spells on immigration durations using the "timing-of-events" method, which allows for correlated unobserved heterogeneity across migration, unemployment and employment processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze why child poverty rates were much higher in Britain than in Western Germany during the 1990s, using a framework focusing on poverty transition rates, and decompose these cross-national differences into differences in the prevalence of "trigger events" (changes in household composition, household labor market attachment, and labor earnings), and the chances of making a poverty transition conditional on experiencing a trigger event.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derive an insightful approximation to the (statistical) aggregation rule for the important class of mobility indices introduced by Shorrocks (1978), 376-93) and further generalized by Maasoumi and Zandvakili (Economic Letters 22 (1986), 97-102), which enables them to characterize their normative properties.
