| Abstract: | Mobility indicies are popular tools designed to quantify the extent of income changes by aggregating "local" distributional change into a "global" scalar according to some rule. For some mobility measures, this aggregation rule is only implicit in their standard definition. In this paper, an insightful approach approximation is derived to the (statistical) aggregation rule for the important class of mobility indicies introduced by Shorrocks (1978) and further generalized by Masoumi and Zandavakili (1986), which enables characterizing their normative properties. |
