A mobilidade social entre gerações

Intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic status: There is no simple law of mobility, por Martin Nybom e  Kelly Vosters (via Brad Delong):

In 2014, Gregory Clark proposed a ‘simple law of mobility’ suggesting that intergenerational mobility is much lower than previously believed, and relatively uniform across countries. This column tests this law using US and Swedish data. The results show, in contrast to the simple law of mobility, no evidence of a rise in intergenerational persistence and no evidence of uniformity across countries.

Eu interrogo-me se muitas das conclusões do Gregory Clarke, que tem estudado a história da mobilidade social analisando os apelidos das elites sociais ao longo do tempo, não serão distorcidas pelo Manuel Cabrita a enriquecer e mudar o nome para "Manuel Cabral".
