Citations in the corpus

• Recent Developments in Intergenerational Mobility (2010, background): “15 In contrast, Couch and Lillard (2004) find using the PSID that the IGE declines with father’s income in the U.S. Bratsberg et al. (2007) use NLSY data for the U.S. and it is not clear why their result differs.”
• A comparison of upward and downward intergenerational mobility in Canada, Sweden and the United States (2014, background): “4 In a companion paper to Jäntti et al. (2006), Bratsberg et al. (2007) present non-linear estimates of the IGE in the same set of countries (excluding Sweden).”
• Intergenerational Top Income Mobility in Sweden – Capitalist Dynasties in the Land of Equal Opportunity? (2012, unknown): “5 For example, Eide and Showalter (1999), Grawe and Mulligan (2002), Couch and Lillard (2004), Grawe (2004), Hertz (2005), Jäntti et al. (2006), and Bratsberg et al. (2007) are all (at least partly) concerned with nonlinear patterns in the overall distribution.”
• Analyses of Intergenerational Mobility (2015, result): “For example, Bratsberg et al. (2007) found that the intergenerational elasticity is close to linear in the United States and UK (this contradicts recent findings by chetty, hendren, Kline, and Saez [2014] who find substantial nonlinearities in the United States), but the pattern is convex in…”
• Black-white differences in intergenerational economic mobility in the US (2011, unknown): “12 Exceptions include Bratsberg et al (2007) and Aaronson and Mazumder (2008).”
• The Intergenerational Transmission of Employers (2011, result): “23 Solon (1992) was not able to address variation in the intergenerational elasticity across the father’s earnings distribution conclusively with Panel Study of Income Dynamics data, but Bratsberg et al. (2007) document nonlinear patterns for other countries, some of which have an average elasticity”
