“…This is consistent with some evidence in economic history as with the case of British education during the industrial revolution(West, 1975a(West, , 1975b(West, , 1994, as well as with the idea of the educational Kuznets curve in which initial investments in human capital are made by richer income groups (causing inequality to rise and, in our context, relative mobility to fall) and later by lower income groups (causing inequality to fall and relative income mobility to rise)(Arshed et al, 2018;Guarini et al, 2018;Morrisson & Murtin, 2013;Meschi & Scervini, 2014;Shukla & Mishra, 2019).5 This echoes Guëll et al (2018) who used regional variations in income mobility within Italy to argue that areas with more economic activity enjoyed greater mobility.6 This depiction of the indirect effect as α 1 γ 2 is useful because it can also speak to rent-seeking. In this paper, we have preferred to focus on how greater economic freedom allows more room for specialization, business formation, more investments in human capital and fewer legal barriers.…”

Numerous studies have found that income inequality reduces the chances of upward relative mobility (i.e., climbing up the income ladder). However, most of this work ignores the role played by institutional quality (namely, economic freedom) in determining mobility and increasing the individual's set of choices. We fill this gap by empirically testing the direct and indirect (through economic growth) impacts of economic freedom on intergenerational income mobility. We find that economic freedom has both direct and indirect effects on intergenerational income mobility, while income inequality is a strong predictor of downward income mobility. When we incorporate findings about the purely mechanical relationship between inequality and intergeneration income mobility, we find that the legal system and property rights component of economic freedom matters more than inequality. These results suggest that good institutions can increase intergenerational income mobility.

Analysis on the Changes of Household Electricity Consumption over the Past Three Decades

This study uses the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition to investigate what are the main reasons that contribute to the changes of household electricity consumption. The household data in Taiwan over the period 1985-2015 are used. The empirical results indicate that the changes of household electricity consumption are driven by different factors across these three decades. The increase in household electricity consumption is mainly attributed to the changes in the coefficients effect of the determinants. In particular, the coefficients effect of household size plays the most important role. The declining of household size leads to electricity consumption per capita increases due to the loss of economies of scale. As for the contribution of the endowments effect, the number of air condition and household income are the most important factors. Moreover, the coefficients effect of household size is crucial both for high-income and low-income households. Therefore, the policy implication means that the electricity pricing policy should take household size into consideration so as to offer electricity-saving incentives for households with smaller family size. Besides, some strategies, such as improving energy efficiency of appliances and providing the subsidy for the investment in energy-efficient appliances, should have a higher priority.

“…In education, (Ram 1990;Shukla & Mishra, 2019;Thomas et al 2001) examined the correlation pattern inverted U-shaped between education expansion and schooling of standard deviation. The education Gini index as a measure of education inequality was evaluated by (Fidalgo et al 2010;Hojo 2009;Shukla & Mishra 2019;Thomas et al 2001), and student attainment was examined (Guarini et al 2018). These results of these studies were able to demonstrate that the pattern of correlation between education and the standard deviation of schooling could develop the inverted U-shaped relationship pattern.…”

This study aims to measure the inequality of education. The study examines the pattern in the educational Lorenz curve as a way to investigate the impact of education experience, per capita income, and poverty on educational inequality. Using Banten Province secondary data series over 1996 -2016, the unbalanced panel unit root were tested for the educational Kuznets curve. The regression results shows that the educational Kuznets curve does not exist. While we found that the educational experience reduce the educational inequality, the per capita income and poverty were not significant.
