Consistent with the Great Gatsby curve, social mobility is higher in Norway, a fact that is matched by the quantitative model.
“Consistent with the Great Gatsby curve, social mobility is higher in Norway, a fact that is matched by the quantitative model.”

Herrington finds that taxation and public education spending policies account for about one-third of the difference in income inequality and 14 percent in social mobility.
“Herrington uses the model to examine the role of taxation and public education spending policies in generating the Great Gatsby curve, and finds that these policy dimensions account for about one-third of the difference in income inequality and 14 percent in social mobility.”

Spending on early childhood education has a powerful impact on educational inequality, and also amplifies the effect of other policies.
“Spending on early childhood education turns out to have a powerful impact on educational inequality, and also amplifies the effect of other policies.”
From Educational Inequality* (2022) · cites this paper as Herrington (2015)
These studies agree that economic inequality and social mobility are closely linked through the determination of investments in the skill acquisition process.
“These studies agree on the basic insight that economic inequality and social mobility are closely linked through the determination of investments in the skill acquisition process, along the lines of our stylized model.”
From Educational Inequality* (2022) · cites this paper as Herrington (2015)
These studies point to the importance of the timing of investments in skills and public education funding.
“In addition, they all point to the importance of the timing of investments in skills and public education funding, which we will further discuss in Sections 3.5, 3.6, and 3.8 below.”

Policies that support earlier parental investments in children's skills are more effective than later interventions such as tuition subsidies.
“For these reasons, and in line with the work of Herrington (2015), Lee and Seshadri (2019), and Daruich (2020) discussed above, policies that support earlier parental investments in children's skills turn out to be more effective than later interventions such as tuition subsidies.”

“Herrington (2015), for example, develops a model with multiple stages of human-capital investment to analyze differences in social mobility between the United States and Norway, two countries with particularly high- (United States) and low- (Norway) income inequality. Consistent with the Great Gatsby curve, social mob…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
