Titolo: The intergenerational transmission of liberal professions: nepotism versus abilities
Abstract:
By using university administrative and survey data on Italian graduates, we analyze the transmission of liberal professions from fathers to children. We assess the e ect of nepotism and family networking, separately from other transmission channels, on the probability of choosing a degree that gives access to liberal professions, of obtaining a licensing and of starting a liberal profession. The results suggest that the e ect of nepotism and networking is irrelevant on the degree choice, modest on the success rate at the licensing exam, but large and signi.cant on the probability to start a liberal profession.
Keywords: Professional licensing, liberal profession, intergenerational mobility, nepotism
