“…Gorodnichenko et al (2010) find that inequality decreased during the 2000-2005 economic recovery, probably due to falling volatility of transitory income shocks rather than characteristics such as education, location, household composition, and age. Lukiyanova and Oshchepkov (2012), however, observe that income growth in Russia was strongly pro-poor for the same recovery period 2000-2005, but the overall reduction in cross-sectional inequality was modest. Another recent study by Novokmet, Piketty, and Zucman (2018) combines different data sources to investigate the evolution of inequality of income in Russia over a longer period than ours, but for the same time period that we analyze (i.e., 1994-2015), they found the Gini slightly increasing from 0.54 to 0.55.…”

“…Disposable household income includes average household labor earnings, net private transfers, public transfers and financial income (see Gorodnichenko et al (2010) for detailed description). Calculated household income is based on the sum of average household labor earnings, received private transfers, public transfers and financial income (see Lukiyanova and Oshchepkov (2012) for detailed description). Individual labor income includes money and payment in kind received last month from primary job and secondary job + money received last month from regular individual economic activities (see Gorodnichenko et al (2010) for detailed description).…”

“…Our paper is related to a few recent studies on income mobility and inequality in Russia, most notably those by Gorodnichenko, Peter, and Stolyarov (2010) and Lukiyanova and Oshchepkov (2012). Yet, one major difference is that these studies examined the same data set that we investigate but over shorter periods ending in 2005.…”

Russia offers the unique example of a leading centrally planned economy swiftly transforming itself into a market-oriented economy. We offer a comprehensive study of inequality and mobility patterns for Russia, using multiple rounds of the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Surveys over the past two decades spanning this transition. We find rising income levels and decreasing inequality, with the latter being mostly caused by pro-poor growth rather than redistribution. The poorest tercile experienced a growth rate that was more than 10 times that of the richest tercile, leading to less long-term inequality than short-term inequality. We also find that switching from a part-time job to a full-time job, from a lower-skill job to a higher-skill job, or staying in the formal sector is statistically significantly associated with reduced downward mobility and increased income growth. However, a similar transition from the private sector to the public sector is negatively associated with income growth.

“…Khor and Pencavel (2006)). To my knowledge, the evidence on income mobility in Central and Eastern European formerly communist countries is scarce (though some estimates for the Russian Federation are presented in Lukiyanova and Oshchepkov (2011)). To fill this gap, I calculate the estimates for Poland and then summarise them with those for other countries (mainly the US).…”

Life Cycle Income and Consumption Patterns in Transition

There is vast literature examining how households' income and consumption change over the life cycle. These studies, however, are usually restricted to developed economies. The main objective of this paper is to add to this literature by investigating the life cycle profiles and income mobility in a transition economy, facing rapid structural economic and social changes, such as Poland. I show that, in contrast to the US, where income inequality over the life cycle follows a roughly linear trend, the age-variance profile of income in Poland is hump-shaped. This finding might indicate that the income process at a micro level in Poland exhibits less persistence than in the US. The estimates of relative income mobility confirm this conjecture.

Intergenerational Earnings Mobility in Post‐Soviet Russia

We make use of longitudinal data for the Russian economy over 1994-2016 to obtain earnings information about parents and children. We show that rank correlations give reliable estimates, and find intergenerational correlations for sons and daughters that are comparable to those found in the USA and the UK. Sons earn more than daughters conditional on education and parents' rank. Observable household characteristics and unobservables contribute about the same to the correlations, both more than education.
