Standard intergenerational measures have been shown to understate the long-run persistence of socioeconomic advantages in developed countries. We study theoretically and empirically whether this pattern extends to less developed settings, using Indonesia as a case study. We estimate multigenerational correlations in education across three generations, using five waves of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) and the 1995 and 2005 Censuses. Contrary to previous findings, we find a negative grandparent-grandchild coefficient, implying greater educational mobility than the intergenerational correlations from developing contexts typically suggest. We build a theoretical framework to identify two key factors influencing multigenerational transmission in developing countries: (1) financial and credit constraints, and (2) cultural norms surrounding marital sorting. To test the salience of these mechanisms in Indonesia, we analyze regional variations in marital practices, education expenditures, and the impact of 1997 Asian financial crisis.

The linear model of educational mobility is misleading for understanding the evolution in Japan. It suggests no changes between the 1940s and 1990s birth cohorts, but the mobility curve was concave in the 1940s, and became convex in the 1990s.

Researching social mobility is hard in countries that only have data on coresident family members. This paper suggests that sibling similarity is a more robust measure in this case than parent-child similarity.

A huge thank you to my terrific global coauthors, including @nazmul-ahsan-econ.bsky.social @shahe-emran-econ.bsky.social)
While that number might seem high at first glance, it really reflects multiple years of work -- some of these projects began as early as 2020 -- and, even more importantly, a lot of collaboration, persistence, and support along the way. 🌱

• Patrilineal social norms play a fundamental role, highlighted by the evidence of no significant gender inequality in educational mobility in the matrilineal states.
• The convergence in absolute mobility in urban is largely explained by higher parental non-financial investments in girls compared to boys.
• In rural, the persistent gender gap in absolute mobility is driven by son preference/parental biases in financial investments/gender barriers in schools.
• In contrast, we find a fast gender convergence in absolute mobility in the urban areas, but a moderate gender gap in relative mobility persists in the college-educated urban households.
• Daughters of uneducated fathers face the lowest absolute and relative mobility, irrespective of location.
• While there is a fast gender convergence in relative mobility in the rural areas, a wide gender gap in absolute mobility persists even in college-educated rural households.
