摘要

教育流动有助于收入流动，是一个重要的政策目标，但很少受到关注。本文记录了教育流动的趋势（1982–2004）和地理差异（美国各州）。我们制定了尊重教育程度独特特性的流动性措施。虽然标准方法表明在样本期内流动性略有增加，但我们发现流动性波动，大约在第一个十年减少，在第二个十年增加。教育流动性的地理差异与当地社区和政策因素有关，比如高中毕业考试的存在。最后，南方被排除在国家流动性增加之外。

Intergenerational Mobility in Education: Variation in Geography and Time

Education mobility contributes to income mobility and is an important policy target but has received little attention. This paper documents trends (1982–2004) and geographical differences (across US states) in education mobility. We develop mobility measures that respect the unique properties of education attainment. While standard approaches suggest slightly increasing mobility over the sample period, we find that mobility fluctuated, decreasing over roughly the first decade and increasing in the second. Geographic variation in education mobility is correlated with local community and policy factors—such as the existence of high school exit exams. Finally, the South is excluded from national increases in mobility.

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Capital is dedicated to human capital and its expanding economic and social roles in the knowledge economy. Developed in response to the central role human capital plays in determining the production, allocation, and distribution of economic resources and in supporting long-term economic growth, JHC is a forum for theoretical and empirical work on human capital—broadly defined to include education, health, entrepreneurship, and intellectual and social capital—and related public policy analyses. JHC encompasses microeconomic, macroeconomic, and international economic perspectives on the theme of human capital. The journal offers a platform for discussion of topics ranging from education, labor, health, and family economics.
