New estimates of intergenerational mobility in Australia
Mendolia, Silvia; Siminski, Peter - 2015
We present new estimates of intergenerational earnings elasticity for Australia. We closely follow the methodology used by Leigh (2007), but use considerably more data (twelve waves of HILDA and four waves of PSID). Our adjusted estimates are intended to be comparable to those for other...

Does family background affect earnings through education? : a generalised approach to mediation analysis
Mendolia, Silvia; Siminski, Peter - 2016
We seek to quantify the role of education as a mechanism through which family background affects earnings. To this end, we propose a generalisation of statistical 'mediation analysis'. In our approach, the treatment and mediator can be multidimensional. This allows us to directly and flexibly...
