The Intergenerational Transmission of Employers
研究发现约40%的加拿大年轻男性曾与父亲在同一雇主处工作,6%-9%在成年后与父亲雇主完全相同;这种传递与父亲收入(尤其是高收入端)及自雇经历正相关,并显著影响代际收入弹性。
We find that about 40% of a cohort of young Canadian men have beenemployed at some time with an employer for which their father alsoworked, and 6%-9% have the same employer in adulthood. The intergenerationaltransmission of employers is positively related to paternal earnings, particularly at the very top of the earnings distribution, and tothe presence of self-employment income and the number of employerswith which the father has had direct contact. It has an importantinfluence on nonlinear patterns in the intergenerational elasticityof earnings. (c) 2011 by The University of Chicago. Allrights reserved.
