摘要：This paper discusses how household panel surveys can be informative about the
intergenerational transmission of poverty. We consider issues both of data and
of the statistical methods that may be applied to those data. Although the data
focus is on panel surveys from developed countries, we also briefly consider
data availability in developing countries. We set out a list of survey data
requirements for intergenerational analysis, and then discuss how the main
household panel surveys in developed countries meet the criteria. In order to
highlight the advantages and disadvantages of household panel surveys, the
section also compares them with other types of longitudinal studies. Next, we
review the estimation methods that have been used to examine the
intergenerational transmission of poverty when using household panel surveys.
Finally, we provide three examples of household panel surveys in developing
countries (Indonesia, Malaysia and Mexico) that meet the data requirements for
analysis of the intergenerational transmission of poverty.
