Fig. 3: Decomposition of IGPov by race and mobility tercile of childhood county of residence in the United States.
From: Intergenerational persistence of poverty in five high-income countries
IGPov (black bars with numerical labels) and the contributions of four sub-components to IGPov (that is, F, M, T and R; see equations (2)–(10)) for Black versus White US residents (left) and high-, medium- and low-mobility counties (right; based on economic mobility estimates from Opportunity Insights). The confidence intervals for F and M were calculated using the method described by Gelbach69, which we adapted to our sequential framework. The confidence intervals for T were estimated by bootstrapping with 1,000 repetitions. Exact values and confidence intervals are provided in Supplementary Table 4 in section C of the Supplementary Information. This sample included respondents who were observed during childhood (0–17 years of age) and adulthood (25–35 years of age). Exact sample sizes were 4,173 (Black), 4,795 (White) and 3,187 for the county-level analyses. The data are presented as means ± 95% CIs.
