Income Mobility, Income Risk, and Welfare [PDF]
The World Bank Economic Review, 2018 AbstractThis paper presents a framework for the quantitative analysis of individual income dynamics, mobility, and welfare, with ex ante identical individuals facing a stochastic income process and market incompleteness, implying that they are unable to insure against persistent shocks to income.

Occupational Mobility: Theory and Estimation for Italy [PDF]
, 2021 This paper presents a model where intergenerational occupational mobility is the joint outcome of three main determinants: income incentives, equality of opportunity and changes in the composition of occupations. The model rationalizes the use of transition matrices to measure mobility, which allows for the identification of asymmetric mobility ...

On the Measurement of Long-Term Income Inequality and Income Mobility [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 This paper proposes a two-step aggregation method for measuring long-term income inequality and income mobility, where mobility is defined as an equalizer of long-term income. First, the income stream of each individual is aggregated into a measure of permanent income, which accounts for the costs associated with income fluctuations.

Intergenerational Mobility and the Timing of Parental Income [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015 We extend the standard intergenerational mobility literature by modelling individual outcomes as a function of the whole history of parental income, using data from Norway. We find that, conditional on permanent income, education is maximized when income is balanced between the early childhood and middle childhood years.

Income Inequality and Intergenerational Mobility in India [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Using three rounds of NSS datasets, the present paper attempts to understand the relationship between income inequality and intergenerational income mobility (IGIM) by segregating generations into social and income classes. The originality of the paper lies in assessing the IGIM using different approaches, which we expect to contribute to the existing ...

Human Mobility Disproportionately Extends PM2.5 Emission Exposure for Low Income Populations [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Ambient exposure to fine particulate matters of diameters smaller than 2.5{\mu}m (PM2.5) has been identified as one critical cause for respiratory disease. Disparities in exposure to PM2.5 among income groups at individual residences are known to exist and are easy to calculate.
