The Effect of Parental Transfers and Borrowing Constraints on Educational Attainment
Open accessAbstract
A strong positive association between one's school attainment and that of one's parents has been consistently documented in numerous empirical studies. The underlying cause of this intergenerational correlation has been the subject of contentious debate in the social sciences for many years. Two competing types of explanations are prominent. The first is based on the heritability of traits, that is, that children of more educated parents may inherit the abilities, personalities and preferences that led to the higher educational achievement of their parents. The second type of explanation is based on human capital production, namely that more educated parents, due to their own preferences for more educated children and/or due to their higher wealth, may invest more heavily in their children's human capital.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
