        AB  - We examine the upward labor income mobility of men and women in Germany using the
GSOEP Cross National Equivalent File. Women have greater overall income mobility.
However, utilizing a measure of upward income mobility and calculating the posterior
probability that men’s upward income mobility is greater than women’s, we find that men
have overall greater upward income mobility. Women have greater upward mobility in the
lower initial income classes, in the upper initial income brackets men’s mobility is higher than
women’s.
