Abstract
This paper explores intergenerational income mobility through the education channel. We use 2000–2015 household income data provided by the Fiscal Information Agency. We find a strong correlation between household income and access to higher education. The median of yearly household income in the full sample is 0.86 million NTD, while the medians among National Taiwan University students and public university students are higher than 1.5 and 1 million NTD respectively. We look into asset distribution in every education category, finding a huge amount of wealth inequality and rigidity of intergenerational mobility. The positive correlation between education subsidy and students’ household income shows that government subsidy may lead to income redistribution from the poor to the rich.
