SMU SOE Seminar (May 29, 2023): Inequality, Economic Growth, and Intergenerational Mobility All around the World

Please click here if you are unable to view this page.

ABSTRACT The theoretical literature on intergenerational mobility offers numerous mechanisms that could explain the Great Gatsby Curve (GGC), describing a negative relationship between mobility and inequality, but fewer mechanisms that could explain a positive relationship between intergenerational mobility (IGM) and national income. That invites the following empirical questions, which we will explore in this paper: (1) How do countries grow IGM alongside national income? and (2) Can countries successfully increase IGM without increasing public spending?
