| Popis: | 105 This paper explores intergenerational income mobility through education channel. The household income data is provided by Fiscal Information Agency. We find strong correlation between household income and higher education accessibility. The median of the yearly household income in full sample is 0.86 million, while the median of the yearly household income among NTU students and public university students are higher than 1.6 and 1 million NTD respectively. Students studying in top universities mainly came from families located in 70--100 percentiles of household income. The enrollment rate of Top universities exhibits non-linear increase from lowest to highest household income; in particular, the slope rapidly increases at 70th percentile. The positive correlation between education subsidy and students'' household income highlights that government''s subsidy entail reversed income redistribution. Finally, we test the Patriarchal Effect in twins. We surprisingly discover the unnatural pattern of sex ratio in two-children families though the effect is not significant. |
