We provide novel evidence of the impact of coresidence bias on a large set of indicators of intergenerational mobility … coefficient. Then, we expand our analysis to show that there are indicators with varying average levels of coresidence bias going … from less than 1% to more than 10%. However, some indicators with minimal bias produce high levels of re-ranking that make …

This paper incorporates gender bias against girls in the family, school and labor market in a model of … but generates an irrelevance result: parental bias does not affect relative mobility. With diminishing returns and … complementarity, the conditional expectation function can be concave or convex, and parental bias affects both relative and absolute …
