• A Theory of Intergenerational Mobility (2018, unknown): “The United States has experienced a dramatic increase in inequality over the last 40 years (Katz and Murphy 1992; Juhn, Murphy, and Pierce 1993; Katz and Autor 1999; Acemoglu 2002; Piketty and Saez 2003; Autor, Katz, and Kearney 2008).

• The Informational Content of Surnames, the Evolution of Intergenerational Mobility and Assortative Matin (2015, background): “It is well known (e.g., Card et al.

• In the Name of the Son (and the Daughter): Intergenerational Mobility in the United States, 1850-1940 (2015, unknown): “The contribution of this paper is to develop an empirical strategy that enables us to estimate the intergenerational elasticity between fathers and daughters, as well as between fathers and sons, even when it is not possible to link individuals directly across generations.(1,2) The key insight of ou”

• Trends in Intergenerational Income Mobility (2006, background): “Another new study, by Aaronson and Mazumder (2008), uses the decennial censuses from 1940 through 2000 to estimate regressions of son’s log earnings on the log of average income of the parents’ generation in the son’s state of birth.”
