School tracking and intergenerational social mobility : postponing school tracking can increase social mobility without significant adverse effects on educational achievement
Pekkarinen, Tuomas - 2014
The goal of school tracking (assigning students to different types of school by ability) is to increase educational efficiency by creating more homogeneous groups of students that are easier to teach. However, there are concerns that, if begun too early in the schooling process, tracking may...

The impact of parental income and education on the schooling of their children
Chevalier, Arnaud; Harmon, Colm; O'Sullivan, Vincent; … - In: IZA Journal of Labor Economics 2 (2013), pp. 1-22
We investigate the relationship between early school-leaving and parental education and paternal income using UK Labour Force Survey data. OLS estimation reveals modest effects of income, stronger effects of maternal education relative to paternal, and stronger effects on sons than daughters....

Intergenerational transmission of education : the relative importance of transmission channels
Wendelspiess Chávez Juárez, Florian - In: Latin American economic review : LAER ; official … 24 (2015), pp. 1-44
This paper aims at quantifying the relative importance of different transmission channels generating the high levels of intergenerational correlations in education, especially in Latin America. A simultaneous equations model is applied to rich survey data from Mexico. The results show that the...

Chapter 3. Education and Family Background : Mechanisms and Policies
Björklund, Anders; Salvanes, Kjell G. - In: Handbook of the economics of education : volume 3, (pp. 201-247). 2011
In every society for which we have data, people's educational achievement is positively correlated with their parents' education or with other indicators of their parents' socio-economic status. This topic is central in social science, and there is no doubt that research has intensified during...

The Intergenerational Transmission of Housing Wealth
Daysal, N. Meltem; Lovenheim, Michael F.; Wasser, David N. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
Rising wealth inequality has spurred an increased interest in understanding how and why wealth is correlated across … generations. We exploit plausibly exogenous variation in housing wealth driven by home price changes in different areas to isolate … the causal impact of parental housing wealth during different childhood periods on children's long-run wealth accumulation …

Using panel data from school zones within a large U.S. school district, we find that higher local … quantify this housing wealth channel using an overlapping generations model with neighborhood choice, spatial equilibrium, and … endogenous school quality. Housing market shocks in the model generate large intra- and intergenerational wealth effects, with …

Recent Developments in Intergenerational Mobility
Black, Sandra; Devereux, Paul J. - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
Economists and social scientists have long been interested in intergenerational mobility, and documenting the persistence between parents and children’s outcomes has been an active area of research. However, since Gary Solon’s 1999 Chapter in the Handbook of Labor Economics, the literature...

The Intergenerational Transmission of Risk and Trust Attitudes
Dohmen, Thomas J; Falk, Armin; Huffman, David; Sunde, Uwe - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008
Recent theoretical contributions depart from the usual practice of treating individual attitude endowments as a black box, by assuming that these are shaped by the attitudes of parents and other role models. Attitudes include fundamental preferences such as risk preference, and crucial beliefs...

Intergenerational persistence of educational attainment in Italy
Checchi, Daniele; Fiorio, Carlo V.; Leonardi, Marco - In: Economics Letters 118 (2013) 1, pp. 229-232
In this paper we suggest a simple decomposition of the correlation coefficient of education to account for the different intergenerational mobility of subgroups of the population, which is of key importance from a policy perspective.
