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.

The differences in the returns to education in the agricultural/non-agricultural occupations could possibly explain the divergent findings in these two economies.
