The Relationship

This study analyzes whether individual skills and personality traits facilitate labor market mobility of disadvantaged groups and rural migrants. We use a panel dataset of individuals in rural South India to explore the relationship between individual cognitive skills, personality traits, and income mobility. We take advantage of intragroup heterogeneity in terms of cognitive skills and personality traits to examine whether these personal characteristics enable individuals to overcome rigid social structures, exploring the role of these skills and traits in migrants’ income mobility. We show that despite strong rigidity in the area’s labor market structure, personality traits are important determinants of labor mobility, enabling individuals to overcome caste and gender discrimination, but that these personality traits do not contribute to increases in migrants’ income mobility.

Several studies have documented ethnic and gender discrimination in a variety markets, including the housing market. Discrimination in the housing market is associated with decreased social integration and is costly both at social and individual levels. In the current pre-registered field experiment, we sent inquires to advertisements for rentals in England and Poland. Inquires were signed with Arabic, English, or Polish sounding male and female names. Contrary to our expectation, we found no evidence of discrimination in the English housing market. We, however, found evidence of discrimination of Arabic males in the Polish housing market. The probability of receiving a response was generally lower in England compared to Poland. The results are discussed against current social and political situations in both countries.
