PARENTAL TIME INVESTMENT AND INTERGENERATIONAL MOBILITY

Gender and Intergenerational Mobility: Using Health Outcomes to Compare Intergenerational Mobility Across Gender and Over Time

Changes in intergenerational mobility over time have been the focus of extensive research. However, existing studies have been limited to studying only males and relying on intergenerational correlations in outcome variables that often lack clear welfare implications. This paper introduces a new methodology for measuring intergenerational mobility that relies on health measures rather than occu...

Health, gender and mobility: Intergenerational correlations in longevity over time

Changes in intergenerational mobility over time have been the focus of extensive research. However, existing studies have been limited to studying males and intergenerational correlations in outcome variables that often lack clear welfare implications. This paper introduces a new approach to estimating intergenerational mobility that relies on health measures rather than occupational measures t...

Education Systems and Intergenerational Mobility

Return Migration, Investment in Children, and Intergenerational Mobility Comparing Sons of Foreign- and Native-Born Fathers

This paper studies parental investment in education and intergenerational earnings mobility for father-son pairs with nativeand foreign-born fathers. We illustrate within a simple model that for immigrants, investment in their children is related to their return migration probability. In our empirical analysis, we include a measure for return probabilities, based on repeated information about m...

Parental Care and Investment

For instance, there is considerable variation in the relative parental investment by the sexes – in some species females invest more, in others males invest more, and in some investment is...
