Abstract

This paper discusses how household panel surveys can be informative about the intergenerational mobility. We consider issues both of data and of the statistical methods that were applied to those data. Then, we provide three examples of household panel surveys in China. At last, we review and discuss the development of the empirical studies on intergenerational mobility in China.
