摘要：

The paper presents a decomposition of income mobility indices into two basic sources: mobility induced by a change of the income distribution shape, and mobility induced by a reordering of individuals in the income pecking order. The decomposition procedure, based on counterfactual distributions, results in a decomposition that is applicable to a broad class of mobility measures. Application to income 'movement' indices with data for Belgium, Western Germany and the USA indicates that reranking has been the major force behind income mobility.
