Mitnik,
Pablo. 2017. “Estimators of the Intergenerational Elasticity of Expected
Income: A Tutorial.” Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality Working
Paper. Updated September 2018.
Note: This tutorial’s
approach for carrying out statistical inference when the IGE of the expectation
is set estimated (rather than point estimated) in the one-sample context, and
the associated software, have been superseded by the approach and software
introduced in the following paper (which is available above):
Mitnik, Pablo. 2020. “Intergenerational Income Elasticities,
Instrumental Variable Estimation, and Bracketing Strategies.” Sociological
Methodology 50(1): 1-46.
The tutorial’s approaches for point estimation in
the one-sample context and for estimation in the two-sample context are up to
date.
