Breaking the Links: Natural Resource Booms and Intergenerational Mobility
研究发现石油繁荣提高了受影响男性的代际收入流动性，主要通过增加底层向上流动实现，但对女性无显著影响；这种效应源于不同技能工人相对收入的变化，并延续至第三代。
Abstract This paper demonstrates that a large economic shock such as an oil boom increases intergenerational earnings mobility among directly affected men, mostly through increased bottom-up mobility, but not for women. Preexisting local differences in mobility or shifts in the earnings distributions do not drive these findings. Instead, changes in relative earnings paid to workers with different skills offer the best explanation. Moreover, we document that intergenerational mobility is significantly higher for the indirectly affected third generation and that the oil boom broke the earnings link between first- and third-generation men.
