...In contrast to the NSS and the NFHS, the IHDS data has another question regarding the education of household head’s father (irrespective of the father living in the household or not).(12) This helps us to identify fathers’ education for household heads who constitute more than 60 percent of the male respondents in the 20-65 age group....

...Moreover, as pointed out by Haider and Solon (2006), an additional problem with using short run measures for children’s income is the systematic heterogeneity in income growth over the life cycle. In particular, individuals with higher lifetime income also tend to have steeper income trajectories. As a result, early in the lifecycle, current income gaps between those with high lifetime incomes and those with low lifetime incomes tend to understate their lifetime income differences while current income gaps later in the lifecycle overstate the lifetime income gaps. We follow Lee and Solon (2009) to address these issues by (a) introducing controls for children’s age to account for the stage of the life-cycle at which the income is observed; (b) introduce an interaction between parents’s income and children’s age to account for the systematic heterogeneity in the profiles; and (c) by instrumenting parents’s income with household consumption expenditure and household size to mitigate the measurement error associated with using daily wage data....
