In most destinations, the daughters of immigrants experience higher mobility than daughters of locals. Sons of immigrants enjoy an advantage in Anglosphere destinations (including Australia) but not in continental Europe.

How do neighborhoods and firms affect intergenerational mobility?
Children’s incomes tend to resemble their parents', a relationship that is particularly pronounced in higher-inequality societies like the United States. However, the mechanisms behind this intergenerational earnings transmission are not well understood. We use a new data resource to study intergenerational economic transmission in the U.S., focusing on two potentially important factors: neighborhoods and firms.

Australia’s private health sector is confronting a period of significant challenge, marked by rising operational costs, persistent workforce shortages, stagnant demand, and increasing out-of-pocket expenses for consumers. These pressures have resulted in declining profitability, hospital closures, adversarial insurer-provider relationships, and a lack of transparency, with confidence further undermined by the collapse of Healthscope. There are growing concerns that instability in the private sector will increase pressure on Australia’s already overburdened public system.

Rapid changes in technology and in the preferences of firms and households are features of the Australian economy, nowhere else more so than in the payments system. How are central banks, including the RBA, thinking about the future of money, both digital and physical cash? What could be the role of central bank digital currencies, stablecoins and tokenised bank deposits in supporting innovation, and what are the financial stability risks? And how could the demand for physical cash evolve in the future?
