The level of secondary schooling attained by youth aged 17 is related to their parents\u2019 educational outcomes based on data on the entire Swiss population. Extending economic theories of child educational attainment, we derive hypotheses regarding the patterns of intergenerational education transmission. The data yield substantial heterogeneity in intergenerational transmission across population groups. Only a small share of this heterogeneity is explained by the predictions of economic theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Intergenerational transmission, Educational attainment, Second generation, Immigrants<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s): Philipp Bauer, Regina T.
