This article uses matched pairs of sons and their parents from the National Longitudinal Surveys: Old Cohort Databases to investigate the relationship between the marital history of parents, educational attainment, and intergenerational correlations in earnings. The research indicates that patterns of intergenerational earnings mobility vary with divorce. Sons from families whose divorced parents had relatively low earnings have a greater chance of having low earnings themselves. The research also shows that much of the variation in earnings mobility can be explained by lower educational attainment for children from divorced families. This finding highlights the importance of designing policies to assist the educational attainment of those most likely to be affected by divorce.

Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927537198000098 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Earnings; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID); Unemployment This paper investigates the sensitivity of estimates of the intergenerational correlation of earnings to different sample selection rules. Recent articles report father–son correlations to be on the order of 0.4. Those estimates, however, are based on samples which exclude observations with low or zero earnings. Since events such as unemployment are common, it is not clear that such episodes should be excluded. We show that estimated correlations are quite sensitive to the selection rule used. The sensitivity of estimates to selection rules suggests one should be cautious about using recent estimates to infer the degree of intergenerational mobility. q1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
