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).”
Nonlinearities in Intergenerational Earnings Mobility: Consequences for Cross-Country Comparisons (2007, background): “Our data confirm the familiar patterns of intergenerational earnings persistence for these countries, including the stylised fact of lower elasticities between fathers and sons permanent earnings in the Nordic countries than in the US and the UK.”
Breaking the Caste Barrier: Intergenerational Mobility in India (2013, background): “One reason for why the changes in intergenerational mobility occur in the middle of the income distribution rather than at the very top or bottom may be the evolution of credit constraints during this period (see, for example, Becker and Tomes 1986, Grawe and Mulligan 2002, Corak and Heisz 1999).”
