Does income mobility equalize longer-term incomes? New measures of an old concept (2010, background): “The various mobility concepts are discussed in Atkinson, Bourguignon, and Morrisson (1992), Maasoumi (1998), Fields and Ok (1999a), and Morgan (2005), among others, and are distinguished in Fields (2001, 2008).”
Culture and Public Action (2004, background): “There is a significant literature in economics on mobility; see Fields (2001) for a discussion; and Bowles and Gintis (2002) for a review.”
Macroeconomic Adjustment and the Poor : Analytical Issues and Cross-Country Evidence (2002, background): “2See Fields (2001) and Ravallion (1994) for a discussion of this measure of poverty, as well as the poverty gap (discussed later), and their limitations.”

The pattern of growth and poverty reduction in China (2009, background): “2 A partial list of contributions includes World Bank (1990, 2000), Ravallion (1995, 2001), Ravallion and Chen (1997), Fields (2001) and Kraay (2006).”
The growth elasticity of poverty reduction : explaining heterogeneity across countries and time periods (2002, methodology): “…that only half of the observed changes in poverty in the sample may be explained by economic growth, the remaining half being the result of changes in the 3 See also the presentation of that methodology in the short literature survey provided by Fields (2001) 4 distribution of relative incomes.”
Recent trends in inequality and poverty in developing countries (2013, background): “…relationship between development and inequality is the subject of a large literature that has to face numerous empirical challenges, and hence it is far from settled (see Anand and Kanbur, 1993; Fields, 2002; Banerjee and Duflo, 2003; Dominics et al., 2008; and Voitchovsky, 2009 for assessments).”

Escaping Poverty and Becoming Poor: Who Gains, Who Loses, and Why? (2004, background): “1. ‘‘Usually but hardly always, economic growth reduces absolute poverty,’’ asserts Fields (2001, p. 104) , and the aggregate relationship between growth and poverty redu ction at the national level can hide several discrepancies that appear when lower-level results are examined.”
Rising Income Inequality: Technology, or Trade and Financial Globalization? (2008, unknown): “14For a comprehensive review of the empirical literature testing Kuznets’ hypothesis see Fields (2001) and for a recent contribution using cross-country panel estimation, similar to this paper, see Angeles (2010).”
Describing and decomposing post-apartheid income inequality in South Africa (2012, background): “It is this picture of inequality dominance that allows us to conclude definitively that the distribution of income in 2008 was more unequal than was the case in 1993 (Fields, 2001).”
