Patterns of social mobility across social groups in India [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Social mobility captures the extent to which socio-economic status of children, is independent of status of their respective parents. In order to measure social mobility, most widely used indicators of socio-economic status are income, education and occupation.

Mobility of Top Incomes inGermany [PDF]

Review of Income and Wealth, 2015
I analyzeGerman top income mobility using micro‐level panel data of personal income tax returns which are highly representative for top income taxpayers for the years 2001–06. Top income mobility is assessed in three dimensions: (i) persistence in top income fractiles and its stability over time, (ii) measures of individual mobility that are not ...

Family Income and Students Mobility [PDF]

, 2008
This paper investigates the reasons that determine students mobility in Italy and tries to explain why in the presence of quality differentials among universities the majority of students choose to remain in their regions of origin. We find that low mobility is related to family income and other financial and background characteristics.

The Social Divide of Social Distancing: Shelter-in-Place Behavior in Santiago during the Covid-19 Pandemic [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Voluntary shelter-in-place directives and lockdowns are the main non-pharmaceutical interventions that governments around the globe have used to contain the Covid-19 pandemic. In this paper we study the impact of such interventions in the capital of a developing country, Santiago, Chile, that exhibits large socioeconomic inequality.

Disentangling individual-level from location-based income uncovers socioeconomic preferential mobility and impacts segregation estimates [PDF]

arXiv
Segregation encodes information about society, such as social cohesion, mixing, and inequality. However, most past and current studies tackled socioeconomic (SE) segregation by analyzing static aggregated mobility networks, often without considering further individual features beyond income and, most importantly, without distinguishing individual-level

Comparison of Feature Extraction Methods and Predictors for Income Inference [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Patterns of mobile phone communications, coupled with the information of the social network graph and financial behavior, allow us to make inferences of users' socio-economic attributes such as their income level. We present here several methods to extract features from mobile phone usage (calls and messages), and compare different combinations of ...

Mobility and local income redistribution [PDF]

, 2010
Mobility may undermine local income redistribution in federal systems, because rich taxpayers can evade high taxes by moving to low tax jurisdictions. By analyzing a model of local income redistribution with endogenous voting, income heterogeneity and an exogenously given degree of mobility we focus explicitly on the link between redistribution and ...

Economic inequality and mobility for stochastic models with multiplicative noise [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
In this article, we discuss a dynamical stochastic model that represents the time evolution of income distribution of a population, where the dynamics develop from an interplay of multiple economic exchanges in the presence of multiplicative noise. The model remit stretches beyond the conventional framework of a Langevin-type kinetic equation in that ...

Inequality and Mobility in a Minimal Model for Evolving Income Distributions [PDF]

arXiv
In this paper we explore the dynamic relationship between income inequality and economic mobility through a pairing of a population-scale partial differential equation (PDE) model and an associated individual-based stochastic differential equation (SDE) model. We focus on two fundamental mechanisms of income growth: (1) that annual growth is percentile-
