MET stands for Mean Exit Time. The Shorrocks index is a function of the
mean exit time from a class (which is determined by the diagonal elements
of the transition matrix).

An early reference is Prais, S.J. 1955, Measuring Social Mobility in
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A, 188:56-66.
