  • Descrição: This research paper explores unique data from the state of São Paulo, Brazil, that allows documenting how educational factors relate to intergenerational mobility for different racial groups. Conjunctly, we discuss how these factors are associated with the racial mobility gap. First, we find a strong intergenerational persistence of income and a significant difference in mobility between whites and blacks, possibly leading to persistent disparities across generations. Secondly, we document that after the 9th grade, the income trajectory of low and high-income students begins to diverge considerably. In addition, having a high school diploma and attending schools with good performance on the high-stakes test are associated with higher upward mobility rates for all students, but the wealthier seem to appropriate more of the benefits of school performance. These two educational factors are also related to smaller racial gaps for upward mobility and remaining in wealth, but they do not seem able to prevent blacks from falling socially or from the poverty trap. Furthermore, the data reveal that students from all social strata have better outcomes when they are among wealthier peers. However, schools with a high concentration of high-income parents have a more significant racial gap. We also find that students who attend more racially diverse schools have higher expected future earnings as young adults, regardless of race. However, racial integration in schools exclusively seems insufficient to close the existing racial gap. Finally, we discover that students with higher test scores than their peers are associated with higher future absolute gains and smaller racial gaps.
