Estimating intergenerational income mobility on sub-optimal data: a machine learning approach
TL;DR: This work applies the proposed machine learning method to data from the United States and South Africa to show that under common conditions it can limit the bias generally associated to mobility estimates based on imputed parental income.

Poverty, social mobility, and the middle class: The case of South Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual framework is proposed that takes the unequal distribution of chances of upward and downward social mobility explicitly into consideration when defining class categories, and the authors compare the proposed approach to those that have been suggested in the previous literature, and illustrate the main messages that can be learnt from linking the demarcation of social strata to an in-depth analysis of mobility patterns.

Intergenerational Income Mobility in Vietnam
Quang Hung Doan,Ngoc Anh Nguyen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used five waves of Vietnam Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) in 1992/1993, 1997/1998, 2002, 2010, and 2012 from General Statistics Office of Vietnam (GSO) to estimate income elasticity for Vietnam and contributes it to the growing of literature review on intergenerational mobility.

An Equilibrium Theory of the Distribution of Income and Intergenerational Mobility
Gary S. Becker,Nigel Tomes +1 more
TL;DR: The theory of inequality and intergenerational mobility presented in this paper assumes that each family maximizes a utility function spanning several generations, which depends on the consumption of parents and on the quantity and quality of their children.

Intergenerational Income Mobility in the United States
TL;DR: For example, this article showed that the intergenerational correlation in long-run income is at least 0.4, indicating dramatically less mobility than suggested by earlier research, indicating less mobility.

Recent Advances in Quantile Regression Models: A Practical Guideline for Empirical Research
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a guideline for the practical use of the semi-parametric technique of quantile regression, concentrating on cross-section applications and provide an empirical example using data from the Current Population Survey.

Income Inequality, Equality of Opportunity, and Intergenerational Mobility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the underlying drivers of opportunity that generate the relationship between inequality and intergenerational mobility, and explain why America differs from other countries, how intergeneration mobility will change in an era of higher inequality, and how the process is different for the top 1 percent.
