SUMMARY:big data and econometrics seminar - Pedro Salas-Rojo

DESCRIPTION:Scholars have sought to quantify the extent of inequality which
  is inherited from past generations in multiple ways\, including a large bo
 dy of work on intergenerational mobility and inequality of opportunity. Thi
 s paper makes two contributions to that broad literature. First\, we show t
 hat many of the most frequently used approaches to measuring mobility or in
 equality of opportunity fit within a general framework which involves\, as 
 a first step\, a calculation of the extent to which inherited circumstances
  can predict current incomes. Second\, we suggest a new method – within t
 hat broad framework – which is sensitive to differences across the entire
  distributions of groups with different inherited characteristics\, rather 
 than just in their means. This feature makes it particularly well-suited to
  measuring inequality of opportunity\, as well as to any inequality decompo
 sition approach that requires going beyond means in assessing between-group
  differences. We apply this approach to South Africa\, arguably the worldâ€
 ™s most unequal country\, and find that almost three-quarters of its curren
 t inequality is inherited from predetermined circumstances\, with race play
 ing the largest role but parental background also making an important contr
 ibution.\\n\\nContact: Sullivan Hué: sullivan.hue[at]univ-amu.frMichel Lub
