Sibling Correlations and Intergenerational Mobility across Immigrant Groups
We examine intergenerational income persistence and economic assimilation among immigrant groups, focusing on sibling correlations in permanent earnings. Using Dutch administrative data and a heterogeneous income transmission model, we analyze variations across
genders, ethnic backgrounds, and immigrant generations. Our results show that, while sibling
correlations in income are similar across groups, the underlying factors differ. Immigrants, especially those of Turkish and Moroccan descent, display distinct intergenerational patterns,
indicating slower assimilation. Our results are invariant to adjustments for neighborhood
characteristics such as ethnic segregation
