Research in the intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic status (SES) consistently shows that the SES of one generation benefits the next.

Variation in the Relationship between School Spending and Achievement: Progressive Spending Is Efficient. American Journal of Sociology (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2022-07-01 Emily Rauscher,Yifan Shen
The equity-efficiency trade-off and cumulative return theories predict larger returns to school spending in areas with higher previous investment in children.
