BIO
Pablo Mitnik is an Assistant Research Scientist at the Stone Center for Inequality Dynamics. His research focuses on intergenerational mobility, economic inequality, labor markets, and statistical methods. His recent work has advanced new methodological approaches to measure mobility and inequality of opportunity and has studied these phenomena in the United States from a cross-national comparative perspective. Pablo directs the Wealth and Mobility Study, a large-scale, Gates-funded project that uses population-level tax data to examine inequality, residential segregation, and intergenerational mobility in wealth and income in the United States. Other current projects include analyzing gender and marriage dynamics in family-income mobility, examining U.S. trends in earnings inequality using a newly introduced regression model, developing the methodological and conceptual foundations of research on mobility and inequality of opportunity, formally modeling the policy and institutional determinants of mobility, and pursuing several additional methodological lines of inquiry.
