This study analyses the patterns and determinants of the intergenerational persistence of education attainment. Internationally comparable data are used by age cohort for parentsʼ and childrenʼs education levels for 30 countries. The intergenerational regression coefficients are estimated by explicitly considering the bias from the censored regressor, and they show that educational mobility has worsened over generations in most countries. However, the degree of change varies considerably across countries and over time. Country‐cohort panel regressions are performed using the estimates of intergenerational educational mobility and covariates. The results show that intergenerational educational mobility tends to decrease with income inequality, inflation and credit constraints. However, it increases with per capita GDP and public expenditure on primary education relative to that on tertiary education.

代际教育流动的模式和决定因素：各国的证据

这项研究分析了教育成就的代际持久性的模式和决定因素。国际上可比较的数据按年龄组用于30个国家的父母和孩子的教育水平。代际回归系数是通过明确考虑被审查的回归者的偏见来估算的，它们表明大多数国家的教育流动性在几代人中有所恶化。但是，随着时间的推移，不同国家/地区的变化程度差异很大。国家/地区队列面板回归是使用代际教育流动性和协变量的估计进行的。结果表明，随着收入不平等，通货膨胀和信贷约束，代际教育流动性趋于下降。然而，
