| Research Abstract |
This study aims to estimate intergenerational income mobility in Japan. We adopted the methods proposed by Bjorklund and Jantti (1997) and estimated intergenerational income elasticity (IGE) using the 1965-2005 SSM (Social stratification and mobility) surveys. The IGE is around 0.35, which is an intermediate value between Nordic countries (around 0.2) and the US and the UK (around 0.5).
