我们研究了童年时期的家庭收入对德国儿童就读的中学类型的影响，这是他们一生社会经济成就的一个很好的指标。与美国的几项儿童结局研究相比，我们发现，儿童晚期收入比儿童早期收入更重要，而且在其他条件相同的情况下，与富裕家庭相比，收入对贫困家庭的影响并不更大。对于土生土长的德国儿童来说，收入影响很小，而对于来自外来工人家庭的孩子来说，则不存在。相对于父母教育资格差异或与联邦居住州相关的制度因素的影响，收入影响也很小。
We examine the impact of family income during childhood on the type of secondary school that German children attend, a good indicator of their lifetime socioeconomic attainment. By contrast with several US child outcome studies, we find that late-childhood income is a more important determinant of outcomes than early-childhood income, and income effects are not greater for poor households compared to rich households, other things equal. The income effects are small for native-born German children and non-existent for children from guestworker households. Income effects are also small relative to the impact of differences in parental educational qualifications or institutional factors related to the federal state of residence.
