| description |
Vietnam's high economic growth in
the 1990s led to sharp reductions in poverty, yet over the
same time period inequality increased. This increased
inequality may be less worrisome if Vietnamese households
experience a high degree of income mobility over time. This
is because high mobility implies that the long-run
distribution of income is more equally distributed than the
short-run distribution, since some individuals or households
are poor in some years, while others are poor in other
years. The authors examine economic mobility in Vietnam
using recent household survey panel data. The problem of
measurement error in the income variable, which exaggerates
the degree of economic mobility, is directly addressed.
Correcting for measurement error dramatically changes the
results. At least one half of measured mobility is because
of measurement error. |
