为什么不仅在美国，而且在收入不平等程度低、社会流动性高的芬兰，发明创造与父母收入之间都存在强烈的正相关关系？使用145万芬兰人及其父母的数据，我们发现：（i）当控制父母教育时，父母收入与后代发明概率之间的正相关性大大降低;（ii）使用最近大学的距离对具有硕士学位的父母进行检测，揭示了父母教育对后代发明概率的巨大因果效应;及（iii）由于七十年代初推行全面的学校教育改革，家长教育的因果作用已明显减弱。
Why is invention strongly positively correlated with parental income not only in the United States but also in Finland, which displays low income inequality and high social mobility? Using data on 1.45 M Finnish individuals and their parents, we find the following: (i) the positive association between parental income and off‐spring probability of inventing is greatly reduced when controlling for parental education; (ii) instrumenting for the parents having an MSc degree using distance to nearest university reveals a large causal effect of parental education on offspring probability of inventing; and (iii) the causal effect of parental education has been markedly weakened by the introduction in the early 1970s of a comprehensive schooling reform.
