The Different Sources of Intergenerational Income Mobility in High‐ and Low‐Income Families
This paper studies intergenerational income mobility using register data for 630,000 Danish children and their parents. We document substantial mobility differences across parents' income levels. Decomposing the mobility estimates shows that for children from low‐income families, intergenerational income persistence is exclusively explained by parents' influence on children's employment. As parents' income increases, education becomes an increasi…
The Impact of the Level and Timing of Parental Resources on Child Development and Intergenerational Mobility
This study explores relationships between parental resource trajectories and child development and their implications for intergenerational mobility. By modifying the child skill formation technology to incorporate new skills emerging during adolescence, we analyze the importance of the timing of family resources on life outcomes, educational attainment, and participation in crime. Parental financial resources partially offset deficiencies in non…
Lessons from Denmark about Inequality and Social Mobility
Many American policy analysts point to Denmark as a model welfare state with low levels of income inequality and high levels of income mobility across generations. It has in place many social policies now advocated for adoption in the U.S. Despite generous Danish social policies, family influence on important child outcomes in Denmark is about as strong as it is in the United States. More advantaged families are better able to access, utilize, an…
Child’s Gender, Young Fathers’ Crime, and Spillover Effects in Criminal Behavior
Men who father their first child at a very young age are convicted of significantly fewer crimes in the first years after birth if the child is a son rather than a daughter. This leads to behavioral spillovers that reduce criminal convictions among other young men living in the same neighborhood, with the resulting crime multipliers affecting peers' crime even after the primary impact on the focal individual has dissipated. Through social multipl…
The Scandinavian Fantasy
This paper examines the sources of differences in social mobility between the US and Denmark. Measured by income mobility, Denmark is a more mobile society, but not when measured by educational mobility. There are pronounced non‐linearities in income and educational mobility in both countries. Greater Danish income mobility is largely a consequence of redistributional tax, transfer, and wage compression policies. While Danish social policies for …
School Starting Age and The Crime‐Age Profile
This article uses register‐based data to investigate the effects of school starting age on crime. Through this, we provide insights into the determinants of crime‐age profiles. We exploit that Danish children typically start first grade in the calendar year they turn seven, which gives rise to a discontinuity in school starting age for children born around new year. Our analysis speaks against a simple invariant crime‐age profile as is popular in…
