INTRA AND INTERGENERATIOINAL MODELS OF THE PSID

PSID是以家庭为基础的行为者的主要社会科学数据集之一， 代际研究。这项基于家谱的研究设计产生了近40,000种独特的 兄弟姐妹配对、数千对父母-子女配对和数百对祖孙配对 让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家谱设计，使所有用户能够更轻松地 构建基于家庭的分析研究文件，并使用数据来解决一系列科学问题 问题。 首先，这个子项目将开发基于Web的工具，称为家庭身份识别地图 系统(FIMS)，这将使用户更容易利用 PSID。其次，该项目将研究PSID报告的遗传数量和频率 受访者，并努力评估哪种遗产行为理论最好地解释了这些 继承权。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，并在调查中尖锐了前面的几个问题以区分 拟进行的家庭代际转移的方向和目的地。第四，该项目将 调查PSID受访者财富积累的大小与其 鼓励离开屋苑，并研究家庭间的异质性的可能重要性 偏好。第五，PSID中的协变量将用于检查家庭在多大程度上 创建遗产的计划和退休时间的选择相互影响。最后，模型 教育、经济地位和健康状况在两代和三代人之间的传递将 估计，包括对内生家庭结构的审查。 项目5的负责人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.
