在本文中，我描述了一个新的命令igmobil，它可以计算连续（即收入或教育年限）或离散（即教育或职业水平）变量的多达20个代际流动性（IGM）指数。我考虑三类IGM指数：1）单阶段指数，2）从父母和子女的社会经济地位之间的过渡矩阵得出的指数，和3）基于不平等措施的指数。用户可以添加第四个类来指定igmobil中不包含的任何可能的IGM索引。使用bootstrap程序计算标准误差和置信区间。用户可以自定义程序输出的许多方面，包括转移矩阵的类型和维数，某些IGM指数的参数（如涉及广义熵测度和阿特金森指数的参数），以及如何计算标准误差和置信区间。
In this article, I describe a new command, igmobil, that computes up to 20 intergenerational mobility (IGM) indices for continuous (that is, income or years of education) or discrete (that is, educational or occupational level) variables. I consider three classes of IGM indices: 1) single-stage indices, 2) indices derived from a transition matrix between parents’ and children's socioeconomic status, and 3) indices based on inequality measures. Users may add a fourth class to specify any possible IGM index not included in igmobil. Standard errors and confidence intervals are calculated using a bootstrap procedure. Users can customize many aspects of the program output, including the type and dimension of the transition matrix, the parameters for some IGM indices (like the ones involving generalized entropy measures and the Atkinson index), and how standard errors and confidence intervals are calculated.
