@article{oai:nagoya.repo.nii.ac.jp:00022817, author = {GUAN, Shu}, issue = {2}, journal = {経済科学}, month = {Sep}, note = {In this paper, we estimate the intergenerational income mobility across children's conditional income distribution in urban China from the 1980s to the 2000s. Based on China Household Income Project (CHIP) data from 1988, 1995 and 2002, we examine the intergenerational income elasticity (IGE) of father-child pairs using both ordinary least square regression and quantile regression. We find that the intergenerational income mobility increases slightly from 1988 to 2002 and the overall trend of IGE appears to increase across quantiles. This finding suggests that low-income children's income does not depend on their father's income as much as high-income children's does. High-income children's income tends to be less affected by their father's income over the years. We also find that children's education attainment, occupation and regional differences are the factors that affect intergenerational income mobility.}, pages = {23--36}, title = {A Quantile Analysis of Intergenerational Income Mobility in Urban China Based on CHIP Data}, volume = {64}, year = {2016} }
