Notes: A variable x without a ′ refers to the parent and with a ′ refers to his child.
τ : AFQT Score
σ : Socialization
μ : Motivation - Job Aspiration
η : Self-Esteem (Rosenberg Scale)
ϕ : Internal Self-Control (Pearlin Scale)
The schooling level in column one refers to parents’ schooling level in all models. While for other models the attributes Socialization, Motivation, Internal Self-Control (Pearlin) and Self-Esteem (Rosenberg) in the first column are parents’ attributes, for schooling model s, these attributes in column one are the individual’s own attributes. Variable s in column one corresponds to parents’ education level and this model is estimated using the 1979 youth sample.
