The first goal of this paper is to provide a simple and general test of the presence of
asymmetric information in contractual relationships within a competitive context. We also …

Estimating intergenerational mobility in developing countries is difficult because matched
parent-child income records are rarely available and education is measured very coarsely …

We study intergenerational mobility in India over time, across groups, and across space. We
show that the modern set of rank-based mobility measures can be at best partially identified …

This book offers an up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of stochastic dominance and its
related concepts in a unified framework. A method for ordering probability distributions …

Criminology has returned to a stage of development where class is no longer seen as a
relevant theoretical or empirical concern. This state of classless criminology reflects the …

One often heard counter to the concern about rising income and wealth inequality is that it is
wrong to focus on inequality of outcomes in a “snapshot”. Intergenerational mobility and …

Marginal models involve restrictions on the conditional and marginal association structure of
a set of categorical variables. They generalize log-linear models for contingency tables …

This article proposes a nonparametric test of monotonicity for conditional distributions and its
moments. Unlike previous proposals, our method does not require smooth estimation of the …

Up to now, there exist several studies documenting the educational expansion in Austria in
the 20th century but only few studies measureing the degree of persistence of educational …

The two main algorithms that have been considered for fitting constrained marginal models
to discrete data, one based on Lagrange multipliers and the other on a regression model …
