Many recent studies on intergenerational educational mobility adopted the rank-rank model popularized by the work of Chetty et al. (2014, QJE) on income mobility, under the assumption that the approach remains valid for discrete variables. However, conversion of discrete data, such as years of schooling, into percentile ranks fails to make the empirical rank distribution uniform, unlike continuous variables such as income. Thus, the estimates of relative educational mobility from rank-rank regressions are not margin-free, and capture a fundamentally different concept of mobility compared to the rank-rank slope in income mobility analysis. Taking advantage of recent advances on discrete copulas, we introduce a margin-free measure of relative educational mobility, Yule’s coefficient, which is the analogue of the rank-rank slope in income mobility. Yule’s coefficient was proposed by Geenens (2020) as a summary measure of the margin-free dependence structure between two discrete variables such as children’s and parents’ schooling. The margin-free dependence structure is estimated by an iterative matrix re-scaling procedure applied to the joint probability mass function of the bivariate discrete distribution. We report estimates of Yule’s coefficient for 6 countries: the USA, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Chile, and Mexico. The evidence suggests that, in many cases, the rank-rank slope estimates for schooling overestimate the margin-free relative educational mobility (positional mobility). For example, the estimates for the USA (PSID data) are: rank-rank slope=0.441 and Yule’s coefficient=0.534. The extent of overestimation in the national estimates varies considerably across countries: 3.09% – 48.31%. The cross-country rankings and evolution of educational mobility across cohorts are substantially different when we use the margin-free Yule’s coefficient instead of the rank-based measures.

How does a large structural change to the labor market affect education investments made at young ages? Exploiting differential exposure to the national decline in routine-task intensity across local labor markets, we show that the secular decline in routine tasks causes major shifts in education investments of high school students, where they invest less in vocational-trades education and increasingly invest in college education. Our results highlight that labor demand changes impact inequality in the next generation. Low-ability and low-SES students are most responsive to task-biased demand changes and, as a result, intergenerational mobility in college education increases.

Standard intergenerational measures have been shown to understate the long-run persistence of socioeconomic advantages in developed countries. We study theoretically and empirically whether this pattern extends to less developed settings, using Indonesia as a case study. We estimate multigenerational correlations in education across three generations, using five waves of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) and the 1995 and 2005 Censuses. Contrary to previous findings, we find a negative grandparent-grandchild coefficient, implying greater educational mobility than the intergenerational correlations from developing contexts typically suggest. We build a theoretical framework to identify two key factors influencing multigenerational transmission in developing countries: (1) financial and credit constraints, and (2) cultural norms surrounding marital sorting. To test the salience of these mechanisms in Indonesia, we analyze regional variations in marital practices, education expenditures, and the impact of 1997 Asian financial crisis.

The linear model of educational mobility is misleading for understanding the evolution in Japan. It suggests no changes between the 1940s and 1990s birth cohorts, but the mobility curve was concave in the 1940s, and became convex in the 1990s. Link to the paper: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Researching social mobility is hard in countries that only have data on coresident family members. This paper suggests that sibling similarity is a more robust measure in this case than parent-child similarity.
