Opportunity and inequality across generations
Koeniger, Winfried; Zanella, Carlo - 2020
We analyze inequality and mobility across generations in a dynastic economy. Nurture, in terms of bequests and the schooling investment into the next generation, is observable but the draw of nature in terms of ability is hidden, stochastic and persistent across generations. We calibrate the...

Income inequality and education revisited : persistence, endogeneity, and heterogeneity
Coady, David P.; Dizioli, Allan - 2017

Intergenerational income persistence : measures of intergenerational persistence can be indicative of equality of opportunity, but the relationship is not clear cut
Blanden, Jo - 2015
A strong association between incomes across generations - with children from poor families likely to be poor as adults - is frequently considered an indicator of insufficient equality of opportunity. Studies of such "intergenerational persistence," or lack of intergenerational mobility, are...
