Abstract

My research explores the accumulation of human capital across family generations and was developed using data from theNational Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health.By utilizing dummy variables, linear, and probit regressions in Stata my analysis shows that a parent's education is significant at the 1% level and highly impacts their children's graduation from college.
