Social rörlighet och jämlikhet i möjligheter– en kommentar
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Ekonomisk Debatt. - Stockholm, Sverige : Nationalekonomiska föreningen. - 0345-2646. ; 50:5, s. 59-64

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Social rörlighet – eller rörlighet mellan generationer – är av stort intresse iden allmänna debatten och inom forskningen. Sociologer har länge studeratklassrörlighet mellan föräldrar ochbarn. Under de senaste decennierna harnationalekonomer bidragit till sådanforskning och särskilt med analyser avinkomströrlighet mellan generationer. Både sociologer och nationalekonomer har också studerat rörlighet i olikadimensioner av utbildning. Det finns därför en omfattande forskning om social eller intergenerationell rörlighet, som bör spridas till en bred publik. Två färska svenska exempel på rapporter somgår igenom forskning på området och vänder sig till en bredare publik är en bilaga till 2019 års Långtidsutredning, med titeln ”Utvecklingen av intergenerationell rörlighet i Sverige” (Brandénoch Nybom 2019) och en SNS-rapportmed titeln ”Social rörlighet” (Adermonm fl 2021a). Denna kommentar är motiverad av dessa rapporter.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- I nummer 5 av årets Ekonomisk Debatt (Björklund m fl 2022) utgick vi fråntvå färska rapporter som för en bredare svensk publik presenterade ny forskning om social eller intergenerationell rörlighet. Vi tog tillfället i akt att diskutera hur vi ser på denna forskning och hur vi tycker forskningen bör utvecklas.Vårt inlägg vände sig både till aktiva forskare på området (inom olika discipliner) och till en bredare publik som intresserar sig för jämlikhetsfrågor.

Essays on Inequality, Gender and Family Background
- 2014
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We explore the equality of opportunity in long-run income among Swedish men and women by investigating to what extent income inequality is due to differences in circumstances, i.e., factors beyond individuals’ control, such as parental income and gender. The key idea is that a society has achieved equality of opportunity if there is no income inequality that is due to circumstances. Analyzing men and women separately, we find that circumstances account for up to 31 percent of income inequality among men and up to 25 percent among women. We conclude that there is greater equality of opportunity among women than among men. When we analyze men and women together, and treat gender as a circumstance, at most 38 percent of income inequality can be attributed to circumstances. Gender accounts for up to 13 percent of income inequality, making gender the single most important circumstance in accounting for inequality in long-run income in Sweden.

Gender differences in initiation of negotiation: Does the gender of the negotiation counterpart matter?
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Negotiation journal. - : Wiley. - 1571-9979 .- 0748-4526. ; 28:4, s. 407-428
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study, we investigated if and how gender differences in the propensity to initiate a negotiation are affected by the gender of the counterpart in the negotiation. We enlisted 204 Swedish students to take part in an experiment in which they had to decide whether to initiate a negotiation for higher compensation. In line with previous research, we found that men were more likely than women to initiate a negotiation: 42 percent of the male and 28 percent of the female participants initiated a negotiation. The gender difference, however, was only large and statistically significant when the negotiation counterpart was a woman. With a female negotiation counterpart, women were less likely than men to initiate a negotiation by 24 percentage points, while with a male negotiation counterpart, the gender difference was only 5 percentage points and not statistically significant. This result suggests that the gender of the negotiation counterpart should be taken into consideration when analyzing gender differences in initiation of negotiation.

Gender identity and relative income within households : evidence from Sweden
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Bertrand et al. (2015) show that among married couples in the US, the distribution of the share of the household income earned by the wife exhibits a sharp drop just to the right of .50. They argue that this drop is consistent with a social norm prescribing that a man should earn more than his wife. We repeat this analysis for Sweden, ranked as one of the world’s most gender equal countries. Analyzing Swedish population register data, we do not find support for the norm that a man should earn more than his wife.

IQ and family background : Are associations strong or weak?
- 2010
-
Ingår i: B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis and Policy. - : De Gruyter. - 1555-0494 .- 1935-1682. ; 10:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- For the purpose of understanding the underlying mechanisms behind intergenerational associations in income and education, recent studies have explored the intergenerational transmission of abilities. We use a large representative sample of Swedish men to examine both intergenerational and sibling correlations in IQ. Since siblings share both parental factors and neighbourhood influences, the sibling correlation is a broader measure of the importance of family background than the intergenerational correlation. We use IQ data from the Swedish military enlistment tests. The correlation in IQ between fathers (born 1951-1956) and sons (born 1966-1980) is estimated to 0.347. The corresponding estimate for brothers (born 1951-1968) is 0.473, suggesting that family background explains approximately 50 percent of a person’s IQ. Estimating sibling correlations in IQ, we thus find that family background has a substantially larger impact on IQ than has been indicated by previous studies examining only intergenerational correlations in IQ.

Kön och jobbrekommendationer – tipsar män om män och kvinnor om kvinnor?
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Ekonomisk Debatt. - 0345-2646. ; 2, s. 42-49
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här artikeln handlar om könsskillnader i jobbrekommendationer. Vi rapporterar resultat från en fältstudie vi utförde på en högskola i samarbete med ett företag. De deltagande studenterna ombads att först läsa en av företagets aktuella platsannonser och sedan tipsa om en annan student till jobbet. Majoriteten av deltagarna tipsade om en kandidat av sitt eget kön: 72 procent av de kvinnliga deltagarna rekommenderade en kvinna och 75 procent av de manliga deltagarna rekommenderade en man. Detta mönster kan delvis förklaras av könade vänskapsnätverk. Deltagarna hade mestadels nära vänner av det egna könet och många rekommenderade en nära vän till jobbet.

Occupational segregation by sex : The role of intergenerational transmission
- 2014
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Occupational segregation by sex is a persistent feature of labor markets all around the world. I provide a new perspective on why men and women continue to enter different occupations by investigating the intergenerational transmission of the sex composition of occupations using Swedish register data. I find that the more sex-stereotypical the occupations of parents are, the more sex-stereotypical the occupations of their children will be. The intergenerational associations are stronger between children and their same-sex parent than between children and their opposite-sex parent, and stronger for sons than for daughters. I also show that the intergenerational associations between children and their same-sex parent are only partially accounted for by children entering the same occupation or group of occupations as their same-sex parent.
