Apparently, one major transmission goes from risk tolerance ...

Using various micro data sources, we uncover a steep decline in absolute mobility rates from 81 percent to 59 percent for children’s birth cohorts 1962 through 1988. This trend is robust across different ages, family sizes, measurement methods, copulas, and data sources. Across the parental income distribution, we ...

Using state-level variation in mobility restrictions, we employ a difference-in-differences design to show that stay-at-home ...
