• The role of education in intergenerational social mobility: Problems from empirical research in sociology and some theoretical pointers from economics (2014, result): “The findings in this regard reported by Ichou and Vallet (2011) and by Boliver (2011) on persisting social inequalities in French secondary education and in British tertiary education, respectively, would seem entirely consistent with expectations under Thurow’s theory (cf. also Goldthorpe, 2013).”
• Breaking the ‘Class’ Ceiling? Social Mobility into Britain's Elite Occupations (2015, unknown): “However, these findings have been strongly disputed by some sociologists (Goldthorpe and Jackson, 2007; Goldthorpe and Mills, 2008; Goldthorpe, 2013).”
