From Mikael Lindahl, Mårten Palme, Sofia Sandgren Massih and Anna Sjögren:
Most previous studies of intergenerational transmission of human capital are restricted to two generations – parents and their children. In this study we use a Swedish data set which enables us link individual measures of lifetime earnings for three generations and data on educational attainments of four generations. We investigate to what extent estimates based on income data from two generations accurately predict earnings persistence beyond two generations. We also do a similar analysis for intergenerational persistence in educational attainments. We find two-generation studies to severely under-predict intergenerational persistence in earnings and educational attainment over three and four generations.
Im impressed, I have to admit. Really rarely do I encounter a blog thats both educative and enjoyable, and let me tell you, you have strike the nail on the go. Your notion is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough everyone is speaking smartly about. We are very happy i stumbled across this in my hunt for something concerning this.
