The Effects of the Intensity, Timing, and Persistence of Personal History of Mobility on Support for Redistribution

This paper examines the association between the intensity, timing, and persistence of personal history of mobility on individual support for redistribution. Using both rounds of the Life in Transition Survey, the paper builds measures of downward m...
