This is an award under the Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research Program. This study will look at a previously unstudied aspect of black-white differences by examining the contributions of total family wealth or assets to children's educational attainment and the subsequent contributions of children's wealth on the likelihood of forming stable families. It builds on theories of social stratification and uses data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to statistically model the effects of wealth. %%% This study will contribute to sociological understanding of differences between blacks and whites in family formation and stability and in educational attainment. Its focus on the effects of family assets will also be of use to policy makers concerned with stabilizing the family and equalizing opportunity for children. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a highly promising student in completing research for the Ph.D. dissertation. Thus it contributes to the future scientific manpower of the nation and the thorough training of the next generation of social scientists.

这是一个奖项下的赠款为改善博士论文研究计划。 这项研究将通过研究家庭总财富或资产对子女教育程度的贡献以及子女财富对形成稳定家庭的可能性的贡献，来研究以前未研究过的黑人白人差异方面。 它建立在社会分层理论的基础上，并使用收入动态面板研究的数据来统计财富的影响。 %%% 本研究将有助于从社会学角度理解黑人和白人在家庭形成和稳定以及教育程度方面的差异。 它对家庭资产影响的关注也将有助于关心稳定家庭和儿童机会均等的决策者。 除了通过研究取得的科学成果外，该奖项还将在物质上帮助一位非常有前途的学生完成博士研究。论文 因此，它有助于国家未来的科学人才和下一代社会科学家的全面培训。
