INTRA AND INTERGENERATIOINAL MODELS OF THE PSID

PSID是进行基于家庭的， 世代研究这项研究的基于系谱的设计产生了近40,000个独特的 兄弟姐妹对，成千上万的父母-子女对，以及数百对祖父母-孙子女对 让研究人员能够研究家庭内部的过程。目前项目的主要目标是 通过开发工具，使所有用户更容易地利用家谱设计， 建立以家庭为基础的分析研究档案，并利用这些数据解决一系列科学问题， 问题. 首先，该分项目将开发基于网络的工具，称为家庭识别图 系统（FIMS），这将使用户更容易利用家谱设计的 PSID。第二，该项目将研究PSID报告的遗传的幅度和频率 受访者，并努力评估哪种理论的遗赠行为最好地解释这些 继承第三，关于预期遗赠的PSID问题将用于评估不同的 行为的理论模型，并在调查中尖锐的几个问题，以区分 预期的家庭代际转移的方向和目的地。第四，项目将 调查PSID受访者财富积累的规模与他们的 鼓励离开庄园，并研究家庭间异质性的可能重要性， 喜好第五，PSID中的协变量将用于检查家庭 建立庄园的计划和何时退休的选择相互冲突。最后，模型 在教育、经济状况和健康状况方面，两代和三代人之间的传播将 估计，包括审查内源性家庭结构。 项目5的领导者和首席研究员是弗兰克·P·斯塔福德。

The PSID is one of the premier social science datasets for the conducting family-based, generational research. The genealogical-based design of the study yields nearly 40,000 unique sibling pairs, thousands of parent-child pairs, and many hundreds of grandparent-grandchild pairs for researchers to investigate processes within families. The broad goals of the current project are to capitalize on the genealogical design by developing tools that will allow all users to more easily construct family-based analytical research files, and using the data to address a series of scientific questions. First, this subproject will develop web-based tools, called the Family Identification Mapping System (FIMS), which will make it easier for users to capitalize on the genealogical design of the PSID. Second, the project will study the magnitude and frequency of inheritances reported by PSID respondents, and work to assess which theory of bequest behavior best explains these inheritances. Third, PSID questions on prospective bequests will be used to assess different theoretical models of behavior, and sharpen several previous questions in the survey to distinguish the direction and destination of intended family intergenerational transfers. Fourth, the project will investigate the relation of the magnitude of PSID respondent wealth accumulations to their incentives to leave estates, and study the possible importance of inter-household heterogeneity of preferences. Fifth, covariates in the PSID will be used to examine the degree to which household plans to create estates and choices of when to retire impinge upon one another. Finally, models of transmission in education, economic status, and health status across two and three generations will be estimated, including an examination of endogenous family structure. The leader and principal investigator of Project 5 is Frank P. Stafford.
