Intergenerational Occupational Mobility in Great Britain and the United States Since 1850: Reply
回应了Guest和Hout以及Xie和Killewald对作者先前研究的批评,讨论了数据局限性和流动性的概念化,并认为批评者的分析支持了原始发现。
We respond to several criticisms by Avery Guest and Michael Hout (2013) and Yu Xie and Alexandra Killewald (2013) to Jason Long and Joseph Ferrie (2013). We do not dispute Guest and Hout's characterization of the importance of total mobility in addition to relative mobility. We find much in their additional analyses that supports our original findings. In response to Xie and Killewald, we discuss the limitations of our data and the conceptualization of mobility.
