GUSTAVE KENEDI

gustavekenedi@gmail.com

I am a Postdoctoral Research Economist at the London School of Economics within
the Centre for Economic Performance.

I will be on the academic job market in 2024/2025.

My research interests are in intergenerational mobility, in particular its
measurement and spatial variations, the underlying mechanisms and the policies
that can help remediate such intergenerational inequalities. In this spirit, I
have undertaken work on educational inequalities.

I obtained my PhD in Economics in Nov. 2023 from Sciences Po, under the
delightful supervision of Pierre-Philippe Combes. During the 2022-23 academic
year, I was a research fellow at PSE’s Education Policy and Social Mobility
Chair.

You can find my CV here.

    We provide new estimates of intergenerational income mobility in France for
    children born in the 1970s using rich administrative data. Since parents’
    incomes are not observed, we employ a two-sample two-stage least squares
    estimation. We show, using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, that this
    method yields reasonably conservative estimates of (rank-based)
    intergenerational persistence measures relative to what would be obtained if
    parent income were observed. Our results suggest France is characterized by
    a strong persistence relative to other developed countries. 9.7% of children
    born to parents in the bottom 20% reach the top 20% in adulthood, four times
    less than children from the top 20%. We uncover substantial spatial
    variations in intergenerational mobility across departments, comparable to
    those observed across countries. We find that the upward mobility gains from
    geographic mobility are slightly decreasing in parent income and increasing
    in the income level of the destination department. The expected income rank
    of individuals from the bottom of the parent income distribution who moved
    towards high-income departments is around the same as the expected income
    rank of individuals from the 75th percentile who stayed in their childhood
    department.
