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...
