Résumé	Log-linear mobility models analyze an origin-by-destination mobility table by modeling the logarithm of its expected cell counts as a sum of terms: separate effects for the origin and destination marginals plus interaction terms that capture the origin–destination association. By specifying that association parametrically — through diagonal, level, or scaled terms — these models test precise hypotheses about the structure of social fluidity independent of the changing sizes of classes.	The intergenerational elasticity of income (IGE) is the workhorse measure of economic mobility: the regression coefficient from regressing a child's adult log income on the parent's log income. It expresses the percentage by which a child's expected income rises for each one-percent increase in parental income, so a higher IGE means income advantages and disadvantages are more strongly transmitted across generations and society is less mobile.
