Intergenerational Earnings Mobility among the Children of Canadian Immigrants
利用2001年加拿大人口普查数据，分析移民子女的代际收入流动性，发现其流动性水平与全体人口相当，且高于美国；同时通过分位数回归发现社会资本等限制因素与父亲教育相关。
We analyze the intergenerational income mobility of Canadians born to immigrants using the 2001 Census. A detailed portrait of the Canadian population is offered as are estimates of the degree of generational mobility among the children of immigrants from 70 countries. The degree of persistence as estimated in regression to the mean models is about the same for immigrants as for the entire population, and there is more generational mobility among immigrants in Canada than in the United States. We also use quantile regressions to distinguish between the role of social capital from other constraints limiting mobility and find that these are present and associated with father's education.
