Nowcasting the impact of COVID-19 on education, intergenerational mobility and earnings inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa

Neidhöfer, Guido; Lustig, Nora; Larroulet, Patricio - 2022 - This version: June 2022

Using microsimulations, we nowcast the impact of learning losses caused by COVID-19 on secondary school completion rates, intergenerational mobility of education, and long-run earnings inequality in eight countries Sub-Saharan Africa. On average, secondary school completion rates decrease by 12...

Pandemics and intergenerational mobility of education : evidence from the 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in China

Liang, Wenquan; Xue, Sen - 2021

This paper examines the impact of the SARS epidemic in 2003 on intergenerational mobility in China. Using large cross-city variation in SARS cases, our triple difference-in-differences estimates suggest that the SARS epidemic significantly increases the intergenerational transmission of...

Lee Bounds With Multilayered Sample Selection

Kroft, Kory; Mourifié, Ismael; Vayalinkal, Atom - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

This paper investigates the causal effect of job training on wage rates in the presence of firm heterogeneity. When training affects worker sorting to firms, sample selection is no longer binary but is "multilayered". This paper extends the canonical Heckman (1979) sample selection model - which...
