Intergenerational health mobility: Magnitudes and Importance of Schools and Place
利用美国学校面板数据，发现代际健康持续性为0.17，西班牙裔家庭流动性更高，且地区间差异显著，学校与社区特征如种族构成、单亲比例等与流动性变化相关。
This paper broadens the literature on intergenerational persistence of socioeconomic status to consider individual, family, and spatial variation in intergenerational health mobility in the United States. Using a school-based representative panel (Add Health), we report overall health persistence of 0.17 with higher mobility in Hispanic families. We find large variation by place; intergenerational health persistence estimates range between 0 and 0.5, with similarly large ranges for absolute upward and downward health mobility. School- and contextual-level correlates indicate local race/ethnicity composition, proportion of single parents, and average mother's education may be related to observed variation in intergenerational health mobility.
