| Abstract: | A centralized and egalitarian school system reduced the cost of education for poor families, and so it should reduce income inequality and make intergenerational mobility easier. In this paper the authors provide evidence that Italy, compared to USA, displays less income inequality, as expected given the type of school system, but also less intergenerational upward mobility between occupations and between educational levels. |
