The Economy After the September Jobs Report
The September jobs report shows weak job growth, higher unemployment, and a cooling labor market driven mostly by healthcare gains.

👇Abstract:
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.

Evidence from the matrilineal tribe of West Sumatra (Minangkabau) confirms the fundamental role of gender norms, where boys were crowded out, not girls! This highlights that educational policies must consider potential bottlenecks & social norms for equitable outcomes. Paper: tinyurl.com/3s6sn6xy

Facing the bottleneck, boys crowded out girls at the secondary level, irrespective of a girl’s family background. Labor market returns don't explain this. Instead, we find strong evidence that #SocialNorms, specifically son preference in a patrilineal society, drives this crowding out.

Does large-scale public primary school construction improve educational mobility in developing countries? No credible evidence on this. We estimate the effects of 61k primary schools in Indonesia. Short answer: improved mobility for disadvantaged sons, but not for daughters. Why? #Econsky

📢 Join the RNIM Seminar on May 23 to learn about Dr. Forhad Shilpi's latest research on Intergenerational Mobility.

Title: Opportunity and Risk

Time: 10 AM EST || 4 PM CET || 10 PM China

Registration: 👉 sites.google.com/view/rnim-se...

Abstract:👇
The standard measures of intergenerational mobility do not account for risk. We develop a broader approach where conditional variance of children's outcome is a summary statistic for life-time risks. Conditional variance of children's schooling declines with father's education. We derive risk-adjusted measures of educational mobility by accounting for the risk premium implied by conditional variance. Estimates of risk-adjusted mobility in China, India, and Indonesia suggest that the standard measures overestimate relative and absolute educational mobility. The overestimation is substantial for the disadvantaged children and daughters, but negligible for the children of college-educated fathers.
