N2 - This article gives various estimates of intergenerational earningsmobility by applying different earning periods, age brackets, and earningcomponents. The methodology enables us to investigate how sensitiveresults are to different delimitations and, thereby, to make moreaccurate international comparisons of intergenerational earnings mobility.We find that intergenerational earnings mobility is found to besubstantially lower when hourly wage rates rather than annual earningsare used, whether the latter are inclusive or exclusive of public transfers.Moreover, when the same specifications are applied for Denmarkas for other countries, we find that intergenerational earnings mobilityfrom father to son in Denmark is on the same level as in Sweden,Norway, and Finland, whereas the intergenerational earnings mobilityin all the Nordic countries is found to be higher than in the UnitedKingdom and the United States.
