Accounting for intergenerational income persistence: non-cognitive skills, ability and education

Blanden, Jo; Gregg, Paul; Macmillan, Lindsey - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2006

We analyse in detail the factors that lead to intergenerational persistence among sons, where this is measured as the association between childhood family income and later adult earnings. We seek to account for the level of income persistence in the 1970 BCS cohort and also to explore the...

Galtonian regression of intergenerational income linkages: biased procedures, a new estimator and mean-square error comparisons

Abul Naga, Ramses H. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2001

Because the permanent incomes of parents and children are typically unobserved, the estimation of the intergenerational correlation via the use of proxy variables entails an errors-in-variables bias. By solving a system of moment equations for income observed at a given year, and a T-period...

Estimating the intergenerational correlation of incomes: an errors in variables framework

Abul Naga, Ramses H. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 1999

The estimation of the intergenerational correlation of incomes is usually carried out by proxying permanent incomes using suitable indicators of economic status, and by treating the resulting measurement error problem using averaging or instrumenting procedures. Here we take the permanent income...

Intergenerational mobility in Britain : revisiting the prediction approach of Dearden, Machin and Reed

Abul Naga, Ramses H.; Cowell, Frank - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2002

The prediction approach proposed by Dearden, Machin and Reed (DMR) consists in (1) regressing the observed incomes of the child and parent families on separate sets of predetermined variables, and (2) regressing the child’s predicted income on that of the parents. Conceptually, this estimator...

Early, late or never? When does parental education impact child outcomes?

Dickson, Matt; Gregg, Paul; Robinson, Harriet - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2014

We study the intergenerational effects of parents’ education on their children’s educational outcomes. The endogeneity … of parental education is addressed by exploiting the exogenous shift in education levels induced by the 1972 Raising of …. We find that increasing parental education has a positive causal effect on children’s outcomes that is evident at age 4 …

Ambition, human capital acquisition and the metropolitan escalator

Gordon, Ian - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2012

This paper examines the relation between ambition, as a form of dynamic human capital, and the escalator role of high order metropolitan regions, as originally identified by Fielding (1989). It argues that occupational progression in such places particularly depends on concentrations both of...
