Does Having a Cadre Parent Pay? Evidence from the First Job Offers of Chinese College GraduatesLi HongbinTsinghua University Lingsheng MengTsinghua University Xinzheng ShiTsinghua University - School of Economics & Management Binzhen WuTsinghua University - School of Economics & Management May 22, 2011 Abstract: We estimate the wage premium associated with having a cadre parent in China using a recent survey of college graduates carried out by the authors. The wage premium of having a cadre parent is 15 percent, and this premium cannot be explained by other observables such as college entrance exam scores, quality of colleges and majors, a full set of college human capital attributes, and job characteristics. These results suggest that the remaining premium could be the true wage premium of having a cadre parent.
