dc.description.abstractParents with higher education levels have children with higher education levels. Why is this? There are a number of possible explanations. One is a pure selection story: the type of parent who has more education and earns a higher salary has the type of child who will do so as well, regardless. Another story is one of causation: obtaining more education makes one a different type of parent, and thus leads to the children having higher educational outcomes.nb_NO
