Comparing mobility is an important but controversial issue. In this paper, we argue that in a specific and relevant case, there exists a univocal and non-controversial definition of greater (exchange) mobility that allows for unambiguous comparisons. We conducted a questionnaire experiment to investigate whether people's perceptions of social mobility align with this definition, and we found that people's choices are broadly in line with the theoretical predictions.

Abstract

Comparing mobility is an important but controversial issue. In this paper, we argue that in a specific and relevant case, there exists a univocal and non-controversial definition of greater (exchange) mobility that allows for unambiguous comparisons. We conducted a questionnaire experiment to investigate whether people's perceptions of social mobility align with this definition, and we found that people's choices are broadly in line with the theoretical predictions.
