INTRA AND INTERGENERATIOINAL MODELS OF THE PSID

PSID 是主要的社会科学数据集之一，用于开展以家庭为基础的、 世代研究。该研究基于家谱的设计产生了近 40,000 个独特的 兄弟姐妹对，数千对亲子对，以及数百对祖孙对 供研究人员调查家庭内部的过程。当前项目的总体目标是 通过开发工具来利用谱系设计，让所有用户更轻松地 构建基于家庭的分析研究档案，并利用这些数据解决一系列科学问题 问题。 首先，该子项目将开发基于网络的工具，称为“家庭识别映射” 系统（FIMS），这将使用户更容易利用该系统的谱系设计 PSID。其次，该项目将研究 PSID 报告的遗传的规模和频率 受访者，并努力评估哪种遗赠行为理论最能解释这些问题 继承。第三，关于预期遗赠的 PSID 问题将用于评估不同的情况。 行为的理论模型，并尖锐化调查中之前的几个问题以区分 预期家庭代际转移的方向和目的地。四、项目将 调查 PSID 受访者财富积累的大小与他们的财富积累之间的关系 离开庄园的激励措施，并研究家庭间异质性的可能重要性 偏好。第五，PSID 中的协变量将用于检验家庭 建立遗产的计划和何时退休的选择相互影响。最后，模型 教育、经济状况和健康状况在两代和三代之间的传递 进行估计，包括对内生家庭结构的检查。 项目 5 的领导者和首席研究员是 Frank P.

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.
