Movilidad intrageneracional del ingreso en Chile

Estudios Públicos, 2013, issue 131, 1-35

Abstract: This paper estimates the different intra-generational mobility indicators for Chile on the basis of the Casen panel. Conclusions from the literature are evaluated in light of results that are based mainly on a discussion of the transition matrix. It is concluded that there is a mistaken interpretation of the data in part of the literature. A simulation is made that demonstrates that the Chilean transition matrix could be the consequence of random shocks to the effective distribution of income, demonstrating that the differences are the result of how income is distributed. It is concluded from an analysis of the transition matrixes that there is high mobility in Chile and no evidence of barriers to that mobility among different income groups.
