This thesis reports the results of a household income mobility study in Taiwan by using pseudo panel data from 30 consecutive years (1982~2011) household income and expenditure surveys. The key findings from this study are as follows: (1) the demeaned income measure is more appropriate than the typically defined incomes used in regressions for income mobility studies, especially when dealing with the time-varying nature of average incomes; (2) in general, the mobility in Taiwan is reasonably good across the 30 years examined in this work; (3) mobility has further improved in the second half of the focal period (1997-2011); (4) attaining more education helps gain mobility, but the benefits of this diminish over time; (5) income is very mobile for the households led by females; and (6) households located in cities have better mobility than those in rural areas.
