Comparisons of social mobility

SSRN-American Exceptionalism in a New Light: A Comparison of Intergenerational Earnings Mobility in the Nordic Countries, the United Kingdom and the United States by Markus J�ntti, Bernt Bratsberg, Knut R�ed, Oddbj�rn Raaum, Robin Naylor: "We develop methods and employ similar sample restrictions to analyse differences in intergenerational earnings mobility across the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden"

The paper suggests that there is little mobility and that the mobility is actually less in the US and UK than in nordic countries.
