This paper analyzes the relationship between income inequality and of opportunities for acquisition in nine developed countries during 1990s. Equality opportunity is defined as situation where distributions conditional on social origin cannot be ranked according to stochastic dominance criteria. We measure by parental education occupation use database built Roemer et al. (2003 ). Stochastic assessed using nonparametric statistical tests. Our results indicate strong disparities degree...
This paper examines the extent and evolution of intergenerational earnings mobility in France.We use data from fi ve waves French Education-Training-Employment (FQP) surveys covering period 1964 to 1993.Our estimation procedure follows BJÖRKLUND JÄNTTI (1997)'s two-sample instrumental variable method.On our samples, elasticity son's (respectively daughter's) long-run income with respect father's long run is around .4 (resp..3)with no signifi cant change over under scrutiny.Comparing these...
SUMMARY French unemployment Why France and the USA are alike The paper compares US labour markets. It shows that differences in rates especially acute for young old workers, but appear to be negligible middle-aged workers. All however, experience job flows quite distinct from their American counterparts as they exposed long spells of infrequent unemployment, which is opposite case. Critical across ages skills regarding patterns exit entry into employment also displayed. dispels view these...
This article makes two contributions to the empirical analysis of socioeconomic achievement ethnic minorities. The first contribution is methodological. author relies on a discussion concept equality opportunity analyze how disadvantage suffered by minorities should be defined and empirically measured. second empirical. estimates second-generation immigrants in access education, employment, earnings France.

This paper analyzes assortative mating and its contribution to inequality in France. We first provide descriptive evidence on the statistical association several socio‐economic attributes of partners. Second, we assess earnings between couples. a new method for assessing couple’s potential earnings, that accounts selection bias arising from labor force participation. Our results indicate strong degree The correlation is around 0.17 annual 0.35 full‐time equivalent up 0.49 when using...
This paper analyses long‐term trends in intergenerational earnings persistence France for male cohorts born between 1931 and 1975. time period has witnessed important changes the French labour market educational system, particular an compression of differentials as well a large expansion access to secondary higher education. Using two‐sample instrumental variables approach, I estimate two measures economic persistence: elasticity (IGE) correlation (IGC). Over period, IGE exhibits V‐shaped...
This paper develops a criterion to assess equalization of opportunity that is consistent with theoretical views equality opportunity. We characterize inequality as situation where some groups in society enjoy an illegitimate advantage. In this context, requires the extent advantage enjoyed by privileged falls. Robustness judgment be supported broadest class individual preferences. formalize decision-theoretic framework and derive empirical condition for based on observed distributions. The...
The objective of this paper is to provide a comparative assessment the consequences worker displacement in France and United States. I estimate wage losses displaced workers two countries examine relative contribution important sources post-displacement adjustments. first one relates loss seniority-accumulated firm-specific earnings potential. second arises from match heterogeneity. Identification these can be achieved given separate estimates returns seniority. show that, while order...

Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage werden Verteilungen der Haushalte entsprechend sozioprofessionellen Gruppe Vaters Familienvorstands analysiert. Diese Einkommensverteilungen mit Lotterien gleichgesetzt, deren Gewinn Risiko auf Grundlage zwischen 1979 2000 durchgeführten fünf Erhebungswellen Familienbudgets geschätzt werden. Mittels Vergleich lässt sich...
This paper analyzes economic assortative mating and its contribution to inequality in France. We first provide descriptive evidence on the statistical association several socio-economic attributes of partners among French couples (annual earnings, potential education, occupation). Second, we assess earnings between couples. Contrary previous estimates, account for possible biases estimation arising from sample-selection into labor force. also a new method assessing couple's earnings. Our...

Father's is predicted basis rich set including education, occupation job characteristics we discuss changes earnings structure for cohorts early 1900s 1960s. main results indicate that elasticity (IGE)...
