【摘要】This paper documents the basic facts about the intergenerational mobility in rural China setting. We also account for the intergenerational transmission by decomposing the elasticity to the part explained by cognitive skills, noncognitive skills, health variables and education. Utilizing a unique data set Gansu Survey of Children and Families, this study is the first to provide empirical evidence in the developing countries rural setting. We find that the intergenerational education transmission coefficient is 0.395 in our analysis, which is similar to the estimation from other papers. Our estimated intergenerational income elasticity is 0.118, which indicates the intergenerational mobility is high within the rural area. The decomposition results show that the role of cognitive skills is important for accounting for intergenerational persistence of education and income, non-cognitive skills plays modest role in intergenerational educational persistence, but plays limited role for intergenerational income persistence, health variables plays a limited role for intergenerational educational transmission, but plays a modest role for intergenerational income transmission.
