Parental Income and Return to College Education in Urban China Yuan Cheng and Zhang Lei (School of Economics, Peking University ; School of Economics, Clemson University) Abstract: In this paper, we examine the influence of parental income on the return to college education in a framework of heterogeneous returns to education among individuals. The Roy model is employed to correct the ability bias and to estimate the potential incomes from obtaining a college education and a high school education for each individual. We use the 2002 CHIP data and find strong evidence that the return to college education increases with parental income. Based on these findings, we discuss the efficiency and sustainability of National College Loan Policy and the possible measures that government may take to increase the return to college education for students from low - income families. Key Words :Return to College ; Heterogeneity ; Selection Bias ; Intergenerational Transmission of Income ; College Loan JEL Classification :C300, I200, J300 (: ) (: ) 51
