Like Grandfather, Like Grandson? Multigenerational Mobility in American History
Posted: 10/28/2022 (CSDE Seminar Series)
1:1 Meetings are Available with Dr. Ward:Sign-up here
Join us for this week’s seminar with Associate Professor Zach Ward from the Department of Economics at Baylor University. Ward will be speaking about the extent to which intergenerational mobility estimates fail to capture the long-run influences of grandparents. Nearly all estimates of multigenerational mobility find that socioeconomic status is transmitted more strongly between grandparent and grandchild than predicted from a standard intergenerational model.
