Intergenerational income elasticities are estimated using samples for urban China (covering many cities) for the years … 1995 and 2002 and compared with results from other studies. We find that the income relation between the pairs: sons and … daughters' and fathers' income is weaker. The income relationship between offspring and mothers was weaker in 1995 than in 2002 …

This paper documents an increasing intergenerational income persistence in China since economic reforms were introduced … in 1979. The intergenerational income elasticity increases from 0.390 for the 1970–1980 birth cohort to 0.442 for the … also explore how changes in intergenerational income persistence is correlated with market reforms, economic development …
