Intergenerational mobility in self-reported health status in the US

This project investigates the explanatory power of parent health and income on intergenerational mobility, using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and rank-rank analysis. From their model, the researchers find a high degree of intergenerational health mobility, with a rank-rank slope in self-reported health status of about 0.26. This repository contains the data extracts and computer programs used to replicate the paper’s findings. See the README for more details on the data and analysis.
