近日，暨南大学经济与社会研究院徐吉良教授合作论文“Family Income Dynamics 1970-2018: Putting the Pieces Together”（合作者：Sisi Zhang, Peter Gottschalk）发表于劳动经济学顶级期刊 Journal of Labor Economics。
Abstract
This paper examines the driving forces of family income dynamics by developing a unified framework to estimate permanent and transitory variation in head earnings, spouse earnings, and transfer income, as well as permanent and transitory correlations between these income sources. A complete decomposition using the PSID 1970 – 2018 shows that transitory variation in head earnings alone accounts for more than half of the total family income inequality. Insurance against transitory shocks to head earnings comes primarily from transfer income rather than spouse earnings. Both permanent and transitory variations in spouse earnings have an equalizing effect on family income inequality.
