Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) En este trabajo se cuantifica la movilidad social observando la medida en la que los antecedentes familiares determinan el éxito socioeconómico. En términos generales, la movilidad social se puede medir por medio de dos tipos distintos de correlaciones: intergeneracionales y entre hermanos.
