Abstract

The purpose of my paper is to investigate how can parents’ years of schooling (schooling attainment) affect children’s years of schooling and their future wage and income. In this paper, I will use both OLS estimation and IV estimation to predict results and compare the results. The result of IV estimation shows that parents' education has positive relationship with children's future.
