本文探讨了年轻人离家与陷入贫困之间的因果关系在多大程度上：即，陷入贫困在多大程度上是由于离家而导致的，而不是由异质性或选择引起的。我们利用倾向得分匹配，根据欧洲共同体家庭小组的数据，估计了离家对陷入贫困和剥夺的影响。我们发现，离开家确实对陷入贫困有因果影响，特别是在斯堪的纳维亚国家；跨国差异部分但不完全是由离家目的地的差异造成的。
This article examines the extent to which the relationship between leaving home and entry into poverty among young people is causal: that is, how far poverty entry is the result of leaving home, rather than arising from heterogeneity or selection. Using propensity score matching, we estimate the effect of home-leaving on entry into poverty and deprivation, with data from the European Community Household Panel. We find that leaving home does have a causal effect on poverty entry, particularly in Scandinavian countries; cross-national differences are partly, but not fully, explained by differences in destinations on leaving home.
