这项研究估计了父母收入对孩子认知、社交和情感发展的影响。当期收入的影响很小，特别是当收入被视为内生收入时。“永久”收入的影响要大得多，但与最近政策导致的收入变化相比，影响相对较小。家庭背景特征在决定子女结果方面发挥着比收入更重要的作用。影响家庭收入的政策对儿童发展的直接影响很小，除非它们导致收入发生非常大的和持久的变化。
This study presents estimates of the effect of parental income on children's cognitive, social, and emotional development. The effect of current income is small, especially when income is treated as endogenous. The effect of "permanent'' income is substantially larger, but relatively small when compared to the magnitude of recent policy-induced changes in income. Family background characteristics play a more important role than income in determining child outcomes. Policies that affect family income will have little direct impact on child development unless they result in very large and permanent changes in income.
