A large literature on intergenerational mobility focuses on the conditional mean of children's economic outcomes to understand the role of family background, but ignores the information contained in conditional variance. Using exceptionally rich data free of coresidency bias, we provide evidence...

Biases from truncation caused by coresidency restriction have been a challenge for research on intergenerational mobility. Estimates of intergenerational schooling persistence from two data sets show that the intergenerational regression coefficient, the most widely used measure, is severely...

We incorporate gender bias against girls in the family, school and labor market in a model of intergenerational educational mobility. The standard linear mobility equation is derived under constant returns, but it generates implausible predictions such as son preference has no impact on relative...
