摘要：

Estimates of the inter-generational link in income mobility are often contaminated by the correlation of genetic 'ability' with measures of parental income. We introduce the use of adoption data to sever this correlation, finding that the inter-generational link is attenuated substantially. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
