| dc.description.abstract | This paper studies the magnitude of intergenerational income mobility in less developed, high
inequality Chile. Following a known methodology where fathers’ incomes are predicted from
standard income determinants such as education and occupation, we get comparable estimates of
the intergenerational income elasticity in the range of 0.57 to 0.74 and 0.63 to 0.76 for ages 25-40
and 31-40, respectively. These values place Chile at the high end of the available international
evidence. Considering Chile’s high income inequality, this finding supports the hypothesis proposed
in the literature of an inverse relationship between cross-sectional income inequality and
intergenerational income mobility | |
