Notes: This table presents IV estimation results from a regression equation (4.3) for ￿ve NSS survey rounds
((i)-(iv)). We used household per capital consumption expenditure and household size as instruments for
parent￿ s log wage. The coe¢ cient estimates for intergenerational income persistence from these regressions
are also plotted in Panel (b) of Figure 14. Standard errors are in parenthesis. * p-value￿0.10, ** p-
value￿0.05, *** p-value￿0.01.
