The long-term consequences of a golden nest

Angelini, Viola; Bertoni, Marco; Weber, Guglielmo - 2020

We study the role played by the standard of living during childhood on nest leaving. Using data from SHARE, we show empirically that individuals who grew up in a golden nest leave the parental home later and that education only partially mediates this effect. This relationship holds across...

Are estimates of intergenerational mobility biased by non-response? : evidence from the Netherlands

Golsteyn, Bart H. H.; Hirsch, Stefa - 2018

-response may bias estimates. Linking Dutch survey data to administrative income data allows us to examine whether selective … responses bias the estimated relationship between parental income and children's mathematics and language test scores in grades … because they may be biased by selective non-response. The direction of such bias is difficult to predict a priori. Bias due to …

How much does marital sorting contribute to intergenerational socio-economic persistence?

Holmlund, Helena - 2019

This paper investigates to what extent assortative mating contributes to intergenerational earnings persistence. I use an errors-in-variables model to demonstrate how pooling of partners' "potential" earnings affects intergenerational earnings persistence, and simulate persistence under...

Parental Background Matters : Intergenerational Mobility and Assimilation of Italian Immigrants in Germany

Bönke, Timm; Neidhöfer, Guido - 2016

We investigate the hypothesis of failed integration and low social mobility of immigrants. An intergenerational assimilation model is tested empirically on household survey data and validated against registry data provided by the Italian Embassy in Germany. Although we confirm substantial...

Family background, education, and earnings : the limited value of "test-score transmission"

Friedman-Sokuler, Naomi; Justman, Moshe - 2024

Even the most egalitarian education systems employ high-stakes tests to regulate the transition from universal secondary education to selective academic programs that open doors to skilled, well-paid professions. This gives parents a strong incentive to invest substantial resources in improving...

From parents' cradle to children's career : intergenerational effects of parental investments

Vries, Sander de; Ketel, Nadine; Lindeboom, Maarten - 2024

There is a clear consensus that childhood experiences shape adult success, yet there is limited understanding of their impact on future generations. We proxy parental investments during childhood with birth order and study whether disadvantages due to lower investments are transmitted to future...

Growing up together: sibling correlation, parental influence, and intergenerational educational mobility in developing countries

Ahsan, Nazmul; Emran, M. Shahe; Jiang, Hanchen; Han, … - 2022 - This version: July 6, 2022, preliminary draft

We present credible and comparable evidence on intergenerational educational mobility in 53 developing countries using sibling correlation as a measure, and data from 230 waves of Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). This is the first paper, to our knowledge, to provide estimates of sibling...

Using uniquely long series of Swedish income data, we show that … current empirical strategies do not eliminate such bias. We focus on the widely adopted generalized errors-in-variables model …

The impact of the level and timing of parental resources on child development and intergenerational mobility

Eshaghnia, Sadegh; Heckman, James J.; Landersø, Rasmus - 2024

This study explores relationships between parental resource trajectories and child development, and their implications for intergenerational mobility. By modifying the child skill formation technology to incorporate new skills during adolescence, we analyze the importance of the timing of family...
