Unequal But Fluid: Social Mobility in Chile in Comparative Perspective (2005, background): “…mobility in several Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, which suggest higher mobility in more equal nations (Solon 2002).2 However, a more recent comparative analysis of mobility trends between 1970 and 1990 in 11 industrialized countries does not find…”
Intergenerational Earnings Mobility in Italy (2007, background): “An excellent, comprehensive survey of this growing body of literature can be found in Solon (1999, 2002) and Corak (2006).7 Unlike other countries, Italy does not possess a su¢ ciently extensive longitudinal survey capable of providing information about current incomes of both parents and their…”
Nonlinearities in Intergenerational Earnings Mobility: Consequences for Cross-Country Comparisons (2007, background): “It is commonly held that mobility measures based on family income ( all sources ) show more intergenerational persistence than estimates from earnings (Chadwick and Solon, 2002).”
Continuation to upper secondary education in Finland: Children of immigrants and the majority compared (2011, result): “Overall, social mobility is comparable to that in Sweden, in other words relatively high (Erola, 2009; Solon, 2002).”
How Do CEOs See Their Roles? Management Philosophies and Styles in Family and Non-Family Firms (2013, neutral): “Parental economic standings are directly relevant to CEOs’ social origins, as the intergenerational mobility literature finds them to be a significant source of advantage (e.g., Erikson and Goldthorpe, 2002; Solon, 2002).”
Return Migration, Investment in Children, and Intergenerational Mobility (2008, neutral): “…mobility has been intensively studied for majority populations (see among others Solon 1992; Zimmermann 1992; Bjoerklund and Jantti 1997; Plug 2004; Bjoerklund, Lindahl and Plug 2006; see Solon 1999, 2002 for reviews), less is known about intergenerational transmission in immigrant communities.”
Intergenerational Mobility and Inequality: The Latin American Case* (2014, background): “These studies consistently indicate that egalitarian Scandinavian countries feature the highest levels of mobility, whereas more unequal Italy, the United Kingdom, and particularly the United States are less mobile (Björklund & Jäntti 2009, Blanden 2013, Jäntti 2006, Solon 2002).”
Comparable Estimates of Intergenerational Income Mobility in Italy (2007, background): “Recent reviews of the latest efforts by both economists (see Solon, 2002; Corak, 2004a) and sociologists (Breen, 2004; Breen and Jonsson, 2005) find significant differences in the degree of inequality persistence across countries.”
