On the Non-Stationarity of German Income Mobility (and Some Observations on Poverty Dynamics)

Abstract

The intra-distributional mobility of German income dynamics is analysed using GSOEP. Transition probabilities are found to be time-varying. The tested models comprise various mixed Markov chains in discrete time and a non-stationary mover-stayer model is proposed. In order to explain the observed mobility profiles, we concentrate on one important income class -the poor- instead of the entire transition matrix. Various poverty duration models are examined.
