Where Have the Middle-Wage Workers Gone? A Study of Polarization Using Panel Data (2016, background): “Moscarini and Thomsson ð2007Þ and Kambourov andManovskii ð2008Þ document a rise in the rates of occupational mobility in the United States between the early 1970s and the mid-1990s.”
The Three Worlds of Inequality1 (2012, background): “…the United States, data limitations preclude firm conclusions about recent trends in big-class intergenerational mobility (see Beller and Hout 2006; Grusky, Mitnik, and Cumberworth 2010), and trend in intragenerational mobility may be weaker than is often assumed (see Moscarini and Thomsson 2007).”
The Macrodynamics of Sorting between Workers and Firms (2013, methodology): “This series is constructed following Moscarini and Thomsson (2007). A time series of monthly vacancies can be constructed by combining the BLS monthly Help Wanted Index (HWI) 1951m1 to 2006m12 and the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) 2001m1-2012m12.”
The recent decline in employment dynamics (2013, result): “Moscarini and Thomsson (2007) document an increase in occupational mobility from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s which is consistent with the findings of Kambourov and Manovskii (2008), followed by a decline after 1994, but they do not conduct a composition analysis.”
