不同家庭成员之间的实际或经济帮助交流是家庭内代际交流的重要组成部分，也是对有需要的个人日益重要的支持来源。使用纵向数据，双变量动态面板模型可用于研究个人情况的变化对非同住父母给予和接受的帮助以及交换的互惠的影响。然而，使用旋转模块收集交换数据会导致数据中响应测量的间隔不均匀，并且与时变协变量相比，采集频率较低。解决此问题的现有方法侧重于单变量连续响应的固定效应线性模型。我们为一系列动态面板模型提出了一种随机效应估计器，可以处理连续、二元或序数多元响应。估算器的性能在模拟研究中进行评估。然后应用二元概率动态面板模型来估计上一年的伙伴关系和就业转变以及当年孩子的存在和年龄对个人给予或接受帮助倾向的影响。本研究使用了有关受访者的伴侣关系、就业状况和受抚养子女的年度数据，以及每 2 年和 5 年收集的帮助交换数据。
Exchanges of practical or financial help between people living in different households are a major component of intergenerational exchanges within families and an increasingly important source of support for individuals in need. Using longitudinal data, bivariate dynamic panel models can be applied to study the effects of changes in individual circumstances on help given to and received from non-coresident parents and the reciprocity of exchanges. However, the use of a rotating module for collection of data on exchanges leads to data where the response measurements are unequally spaced and taken less frequently than for the time-varying covariates. Existing approaches to this problem focus on fixed effects linear models for univariate continuous responses. We propose a random effects estimator for a family of dynamic panel models that can handle continuous, binary or ordinal multivariate responses. The performance of the estimator is assessed in a simulation study. A bivariate probit dynamic panel model is then applied to estimate the effects of partnership and employment transitions in the previous year and the presence and age of children in the current year on an individual’s propensity to give or receive help. Annual data on respondents’ partnership, employment status and dependent children, and data on exchanges of help collected at 2- and 5-year intervals are used in this study.
