Abstract This paper explores the relationship between economic growth and intergenerational mobility in the United States. Data from metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S. is used to examine how two measures of intergenerational mobility impact growth rates. More precisely, I examine how absolute income mobility and relative income mobility are related the growth rate of real gross metropolitan product (RGMP) from 2001 to 2011. I find that absolute mobility has a positive relationship with RGMP growth over the time period, and that relative mobility exhibits a negative relationship with RGMP. Results are found to be robust to two stage least squares estimation.

代际流动性对美国Msa增长的影响

摘要本文探讨了美国经济增长与代际流动之间的关系。来自美国大都市统计区的数据用于检验代际流动性的两种衡量标准如何影响增长率。更准确地说，我研究了2001年至2011年绝对收入流动性和相对收入流动性与实际大都市生产总值（RGMP）的增长率之间的关系。我发现，绝对流动性与这段时期内RGMP的增长呈正相关，并且相对迁移率与RGMP呈负相关。发现结果对于两阶段最小二乘估计是鲁棒的。
