摘要：We present evidence on intergenerational mobility of wages in Brazil using a large
household survey. We estimate the wage elasticity coefficient through a two-sample
instrumental variable procedure (Angrist and Krueger (1992) and Arellano and Meghir
(1992)). We find that the degree of intergenerational mobility of wages in Brazil is
lower than the one observed in developed countries. The degree of mobility varies across
regions and racial groups. Our results also show that wage mobility has been increasing
for younger cohorts. We also find evidence of significant nonlinearities in the mobility
pattern in Brazil and that the intergenerational transmission of education is related to
wage mobility in several ways.
