This $293,490 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA# 47.075). The grant supports a multi-year research project conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research Inc. (NBER), a non-profit research organization.

The project aims to advance the understanding of economic development, social mobility, and social conflict. Key components include:

  1. Developing new measures of upward mobility that can be widely applied using publicly available data, building on NBER's prior work in this area.
  2. Analyzing the connections between inequality, mobility, and social unrest, utilizing an economic behavior theory previously developed by the Principal Investigator.

The research methodology involves statistical and econometric analyses, modeling, academic workshops, publication of findings, and graduate student training. The project is expected to produce insights relevant to researchers and policymakers focused on understanding and promoting social mobility.
