- restingrobot 9y agoCan you provide factual basis for this statement?

- cema 9y agoHmm, the numbers in the publications are not stratified. Besides, I am not sure if the father-to-son monetary delta is the only factor to estimate the mobility. The first publication seems to study a broader set of parameters but all of them except the father-to-son thing look secondary. I wonder what the data would look like for the various strata in the American society.
