Does citizenship-acquisition improve labour market outcomes of immigrant? In the Italian context naturalised immigrants have higher socio-economic attainment and earnings. Yet, this is largely due to positive selection rather than the acquisition of citizenship itself: dx.doi.org/10.1111/imig...

So much still to learn about mechanisms of intergenerational transmission! ✨

Great point! As Kristian said, shocks can impact siblings at different ages but the method should calculate the correlation at the same age. About external shocks, we find no drastic fluctuations over periods and the inclusion of the birth year (or period) FE should absorb parts of their impact.

Family background shapes volatility too 💸

@kbkarlson.bsky.social & I find strong brother correlations in volatility—especially in US&DE, even beyond earnings levels!

Thanks for the great collaboration!

In conclusion, in Italy, women’s higher social mobility than that of men is more likely indicative of persistent traditional work–family choices among the better-off than a signal of growing equality of opportunity.
