dc.description.abstract | One would expect that family income is an important positive factor in the school attainment ofchildren. However, evidence on this relationship is often tainted by the lack of control for parentalability, since at least a portion of ability is transferred genetically to children. This paperconsiders empirical strategies that control for both observed and unobserved parental ability. Inthe end, family income still has a significant effect, which must therefore be causative. It impliesthat high-ability children in low-income families face binding credit constraints that society maywish to relieve. | en |
