Intergenerational Mobility and Marital Sorting (2006, neutral): “24 Interestingly, in spite of the fact that we use a different measure of status, our OLS estimates of b 1 are close to (and perhaps higher than) those shown in Atkinson et al. (1983) ‐ when they use net family income as their variable of interest ‐ and to those reported in Blanden et al. (2004) , ”
Analyses of Intergenerational Mobility (2015, background): “Findings indicate stability in class mobility over time but a decline in income mobility between the 1958 and 1970 birth cohorts (Goldthorpe and Mills 2008; erikson and Goldthorpe 2010; Goldthorpe 2013; Blanden et al. 2004; Blanden, Gregg, and Macmillan 2007, 2013). In theory, these discrepancies co”
Family income and educational attainment: a review of approaches and evidence for Britain (2004, background): “outcomes has increased over successive cohorts. Blanden et al. (2002) document that”
The Declining Relative Importance of Ability in Predicting Educational Attainment (2005, methodology): “2 The data used in this paper have been applied to other aspects of the relationship between socio-economic background, cognitive ability and socio-economic outcomes (Breen and Goldthorpe (1999, 2001); Currie and Thomas (1999); Dearden (1999); Dearden et al.”
Recent Developments in Intergenerational Mobility (2010, background): “3 ((see also Nicoletti and Ermisch (2007), Blanden et al. (2004)). Elasticities for the Nordic countries are almost always found to be lower than .3.(13) Jantti et al. (2006) also use transition matrices to estimate mobility by quintile in these countries.”
The Class Pay Gap in Higher Professional and Managerial Occupations (2016, background): “This concern has been fuelled by economists who point toward a significant decrease in upward income mobility (Blanden et al. 2004; Blanden, Gregg, and Macmillan 2007).”
Accounting for Intergenerational Income Persistence: Noncognitive Skills, Ability and Education (2006, background): “Comparing the 1958 and 1970 cohorts indicates that mobility has declined in the UK (Blanden et al., 2004).”
Breaking the ‘Class’ Ceiling? Social Mobility into Britain's Elite Occupations (2015, positive): “This policy focus has been fuelled by the work of a group of high-profile economists (Blanden et al., 2004, 2005; Blanden and Machin, 2007) whose research has pointed to a decrease in intergenerational upward income mobility.”
Understanding – and Misunderstanding – Social Mobility in Britain: The Entry of the Economists, the Confusion of Politicians and the Limits of Educational Policy (2013, methodology): “And what would be involved in redressing a situation of declining relative mobility, as claimed by Blanden et al. (2004), would of necessity be increases in upward mobility that were complemented by exactly corresponding increases in downward mobility, which was not, one could suppose, what Prime…”
American Exceptionalism in a New Light: A Comparison of Intergenerational Earnings Mobility in the Nordic Countries, the United Kingdom and the United States (2006, neutral): “Acknowledging the upward bias likely to be involved, recent U.K. studies like Blanden et al. (2004) use standard least squares and report elasticities somewhat below ours for the 1958 cohort, 0.18 for sons and 0.31 for daughters.”
