Intergenerational Economic Mobility in the United States, 1940 to 2000 (2012, background): “For example, Solon (2004) extends the Becker-Tomes model and shows that intergenerational mobility is driven by factors that have undergone di-verging trends.”
Nonlinearities in Intergenerational Earnings Mobility: Consequences for Cross-Country Comparisons (2007, background): “ Solon (2004) makes a similar argument in addressing sources of differences in cross-country estimates of the intergenerational earnings elasticity.”
Theoretical Models of Inequality Transmission Across Multiple Generations (2014, methodology): “A Review of Existing Theory My point of departure is a simplified version of the model in Solon (2004), which adapted the classic model of Becker and Tomes (1979) to rationalize the double-log functional form of the regression equations typically estimated in empirical studies of intergenerational…”
Intergenerational Mobility and Inequality: The Latin American Case* (2014, background): “First, inequality implies higher returns to schooling and less progressive human capital investments, both of which induce intergenerational rigidity (Solon 2004).”
Return Migration, Investment in Children, and Intergenerational Mobility (2008, positive): “ΙΙ Theory Our model is a permanent income model of intergenerational mobility with parental investments in the child's earnings potential, following early work by Becker and Tomes (1979) and Solon (2004).”
Inequality of Opportunities vs. Inequality of Outcomes: Are Western Societies All Alike? (2008, background): “…and equality of opportunity indicated in (cid:28)gure 5 con(cid:28)rms the conclusion of several recent papers that have provided evidence of a negative link between intergenerational mobility and income inequality, for instance Bj(cid:246)rkl(cid:252)nd and J(cid:228)ntti (1997) and Solon (2004).”
Biases in Standard Measures of Intergenerational Income Dependence (2017, background): “…interpretation, possibly due to its derivability as a reduced-form relationship from standard models of parental investments in offspring (Becker and Tomes 1979; Solon 2004)—and is also a key ingredient for the calibration of structural models of mobility (for example, Lee and Seshadri 2015).”
Inequality and mobility (2007, background): “Intergenerational mobility has recently been studied by Galor and Tsiddon (1997), Owen and Weil (1998), Fernandez and Rogerson (1998), Maoz and Moav (1999), Hassler and Rodríguez Mora (2000), Benabou (2001) and Solon (2004).”
Income Inequality, Equality of Opportunity, and Intergenerational Mobility (2013, background): “Solon (2004) has adapted their research in a way appropriate for making comparisons across countries and over time.”
The Economics of Human Development and Social Mobility (2014, positive): “It is a practice inherited from the early literature of Becker and Tomes (1979, 1986), and Solon (2004).”
Analyses of Intergenerational Mobility (2015, background): “Solon (2004) offers a stylized version of the Becker-Tomes model, derived under the simplifying assumptions of steady state and equal variance in both generations.”
Inequality of opportunity in comparative perspective : Recent research on educational attainment and social mobility (2005, background): “…generations, although their work has often been entirely theoretical with no empirical content (Banerjee & Newman 1991, Galor & Zeira 1993) and is usually oriented toward explaining income or earnings (notably Becker & Tomes 1979, Solon 2004; see also the review by Grawe & Mulligan 2002).”
