This paper develops a general preference model for analyzing parental allocations of resources among their progeny. The implications fro this model for the distribution of educational resources and earnings potentials among siblings are examined. A particular version of the preference model is estimated using data on the education and earnings of adult male twins. The estimates imply that parents care about offsprings' earnings inequality and provide more (less) resources to the less (more) able than is consistent with an investment model.
