The role of parental education in the human capital production function is examined by estimating the effects of parental education on the education profile of wages. The analysis uses sibling pairs from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience of Young Men and Young Women. Mixed evidence on whether parental education raises the return to education is obtained. (ABI/Inform) |
