Parental assortative mating and the intergenerational transmission of human capital
Bingley, Paul; Cappellari, Lorenzo; Tatsiramos, Konstantinos - 2021
We study the contribution of parental similarity in schooling levels to the intergenerational transmission of educational attainment. We develop an empirical model for educational correlations within the family in which parental sorting can translate into intergenerational transmission, or...

When it hurts the most : timing of parental job loss and a child's education
Bingley, Paul; Cappellari, Lorenzo; Ovidi, Marco - 2023
We investigate the stages of childhood at which parental job loss is most consequential for their child's education. Using Danish administrative data linking parents experiencing plant closures to their children, we compare end-of-school outcomes to matched peers and to closures hitting after...

On the origins of socio-economic inequalities : evidence from twin families
Bingley, Paul; Cappellari, Lorenzo; Tatsiramos, Konstantinos - 2023
We propose a twin family model linking twins with their spouses and children to quantify the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors in explaining the variance of socio-economic outcomes. Using data from the Danish Twins Registry and population registers, we test and relax the...

Conte, Andrea (contributor); Vivarelli, Marco (contributor) - 2005
subsample of 2,949 firms from the third European Community Innovation Survey (CIS 3). A bivariate probit analysis framework is … innovation intensity. This paper also discusses an alternative test procedure that permits an extension of Cragg's test in the … analysis of survey data with weighted observations. Results show that R&D is strictly linked to product innovation, while TA is …

Bertoni, Marco; Brunello, Giorgio; Cappellari, Lorenzo - 2018
We investigate whether the effects of schoolmates' gender and average parental education on educational achievement, employment and earnings vary with individual family characteristics such as the gender of siblings and own parental education. We find that the benefits from exposure to...

Workers, firms and life-cycle wage dynamics
Bingley, Paul; Cappellari, Lorenzo - 2018
Studies of individual wage dynamics typically ignore firm heterogeneity, whereas decompositions of earnings into worker and firm effects abstract from life-cycle considerations. We study firm effects in individual wage dynamics using administrative data on the population of Italian employers and...

Linguistic skills and the intergenerational transmission of language
Caminal, Ramón; Cappellari, Lorenzo; Di Paolo, Antonio - 2018
We investigate the pattern of intergenerational transmission of language in a bilingual society. We consider the case of Catalonia, where the two main speech communities, Spanish and Catalan, are of similar sizes, both languages are official, and each one enjoys the protection of a different...
