The Female College Boom, Educational Mobility, and Overeducation in the United States Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Economics, University of California, Santa Barbara, 2016 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): College Graduates; Educational Attainment; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Mobility; Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID); Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In the second chapter, I estimate the intergenerational transmission of education in the United States between 1980 and 2013. I find that intergenerational persistence in education has increased substantially among blacks in recent years while remaining stable among whites and Hispanics. I observe this trend when using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics as well as the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth. I demonstrate that much of the increase in educational persistence among blacks is due to decreases in upward mobility. The increase in black educational persistence is found in both two-parent and single-parent households, and I do not find similar trends and differences when estimating intergenerational income persistence. |
