收入流动性可被视为来自两个来源：(1)总收入保持不变的个人之间的收入转移；(2)可用收入总额的变化。在这篇文章中，我们提出了几个合理的性质来定义收入流动性的概念，并证明了这些属性唯一地隐含了一种易于应用的流动性度量。我们还表明，由此产生的衡量标准可以被相加分解为上面列出的两个来源，即由于给定结构内的收入转移而产生的流动性和由于经济增长或收缩而产生的流动性。最后，将这些结果与文献中的其他流动性概念和度量进行了比较和对比。(C)1996年学术出版社。
Income mobility may be seen as arising from two sources: (i) the transfer of income among individuals with total income held constant, and (ii) a change in the total amount of income available. In this paper, we propose several sensible properties defining the concept of income mobility and show that an easily applicable measure of mobility is uniquely implied by these properties. We also show that the resulting measure is additively decomposable into the two sources listed above, namely, mobility due to the transfer of income within a given structure and mobility due to economic growth or contraction. Finally, these results are compared and contrasted with other mobility concepts and measures in the literature. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
