Abstract

Stratification economics has brought back positional concerns as an area of focus in studying economic dynamics. However, this is not yet the case in the realm of regional comparisons of intergenerational mobility. In this paper, I show that the decomposition of intergenerational persistence indicators into their structural and positional components offers a clearer understanding of the determinants of heterogeneity in subnational mobility rates. This constitutes a departure from the current consensus in estimating mobility rates at the subnational level in economics. Applying this approach to the Mexican case, I show no significant differences in positional mobility across the country’s regions. This contrasts with the existing results, particularly regarding intergenerational mobility in the country’s southern region.
