The mechanisms of intergenerational status transmission in modern Scandinavia

Clark, Gregory; Hørlyk Kristensen, Martin - 2026

There is continued debate, with important social consequences, about how social status is transmitted between parents and children. In particular, how much does genetics as opposed to social causation matter? In an ingenious recent article, Collado et al. (2023), using an extended family lineage...

We develop a model that links education-outcome gradients to intergenerational transmission, distinguishing joint from parent-specific channels under assortative mating. Using Danish administrative data on family quartets, we estimate the own education-outcome gradient and, in addition,...

We study how assortative mating shapes the composition of education-outcome gradients and how these gradients relate to intergenerational transmission. Using Danish administrative data on family quartets, we decompose own gradients in long-run earnings, disposable income, assets, and wealth into...

Assortative mating and couple taxation : a note

An often neglected implication of couple taxation is its impact on marital sorting. A tractable model of such an impact is offered in this paper. It reveals that, as compared to joint taxation with income splitting, individual taxation makes higher-ability individuals more picky in the marriage...

This paper introduces a new framework for measuring the extent of positive assortative mating (PAM) in the marriage market by relaxing the standard assumption of dichotomous sorting levels. Conventional PAM measures treat marriage sorting as a binary outcome - either perfectly matched or not -...
