The Evolution of Social Mobility: Norway during the Twentieth Century
利用父子收入百分位关联、兄弟相关性等方法，研究了二十世纪挪威社会流动性的变化趋势，发现1930-1940年代出生队列间流动性显著上升，二战后父子关联稳定但兄弟相关性持续下降，并讨论了中低收入家庭教育提升作为可能机制。
Abstract We document trends in social mobility in Norway using intergenerational income elasticities, the associations between the income percentiles of fathers and sons, and brother correlations. The results of all approaches suggest that social mobility increased substantially between cohorts born in the early 1930s and the early 1940s. Father–son associations remained stable for cohorts born after World War II, while brother correlations continued to decline. The relationship between father and son income percentile ranks is highly non‐linear for early cohorts, but it approaches linearity over time. We discuss increasing educational attainment among low‐ and middle‐income families as a possible mechanism underlying these trends.
