Yajing Jiang and her coauthors study the intergenerational educational mobility in developing economies. Using data sets that are free from the well-known co-residency biases, they find that fathers’ non-agricultural occupation and education were complementary to determining sons’ schooling choices in rural India, but separable in rural China.
