Intergenerational Family Transfers of Time and Money

项目总结(见说明)： 收入动态小组研究是美国最广泛使用的数据集，用于研究代际过程如何有助于个人幸福感。该项目在两个新模块中设计了12分钟的新内容-一个家庭花名册模块和一个家庭转移模块，将添加到2013年PSID访谈中。这些创新的模块将提供新的公共使用数据，以了解经济优势在几代人之间传递的机制，并使PSID成为唯一一个能够研究生命过程和时间、金钱和同居的多代交换的长期小组代表。该项目有五个目标：首先，我们牵头设计新的数据模块，登记所有在世的孩子以及PSID家庭户主和配偶的父母，获得每个此类亲属的基本社会人口信息，并收集两种类型的转移：a)PSID户主和妻子、他们的年长父母和他们的成年子女之间最近的时间和金钱转移，以及b)过去任何时候进行的更大规模的转移，包括帮助支付大学费用、首次购房和其他财富转移。其次，我们使用这些数据来分析家庭如何共享资源，重点是财富和失业冲击对家庭成员之间转移的影响。第三，我们将PSID儿童和父母的子样本与1988年收集的转移信息和2013年新模块中收集的信息联系起来：a)检查在两个时间点上家庭给予/接受的差异，b)评估在生命早期接受父母时间或金钱援助的儿童是否更有可能在以后的生活中向父母提供帮助。第四，我们探讨了父母对成年子女进行的两种转移方式的相对重要性--投资于子女的高等教育和提供生活中的财富转移--在经济成就方面产生了有充分证据的代际关联。最后，我们使用在父母、公公婆婆和孩子的花名册中收集的信息来探索自然减员对PSID样本的总体特征、成就中的代际相关性以及对时间和金钱代际转移的估计的影响。

PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The Panel Study of Income Dynamics is the most widely used dataset in the U.S. for studying how intergenerational processes contribute to individual well-being. This project designs 12 minutes of new content in two new modules-a Family Roster Module and a Family Transfers Module to be added to the ; 2013 PSID interview. These innovative modules will provides new, public-use data to understand the mechanisms by which economic advantage is transmitted across generations and makes the PSID the only long-term panel representative of the full U.S. population equipped to study life course and multigenerational exchanges of time, money and co-residence. The project has five objectives: First, we lead the design of new data modules that roster all living children and parents of the heads and spouses of PSID households, obtain basic socio-demographic information on each such relative and collect two types of transfers: a) recent time and money transfers between PSID Heads and Wives, their older parents, and their adult children and b) larger transfers made at any time in the past, including help with college expenses, first home purchase, and other transfers of wealth. Second, we use these data to analyze how families share resources, with a focus on the effects of wealth and unemployment shocks on transfers between family members. Third, we link a subsample of PSID children and parents with information on transfers collected in 1988 and in the new module in 2013 to: a) examine variation in giving/receiving across families at two points in time and b) assess whether children who received time or money assistance from parents earlier in life are more likely to give help to parents later in life. Fourth, we explore the relative importance of two forms of transfers that parents make to their adult children - investing in children's higher education and providing ; inter vivos wealth transfers - in generating well-documented intergenerational correlations in economic attainment. Finally, we use the information collected in the rostering of parents, parents-in-law, and children to explore the impact of attrition on the overall characteristics of the PSID sample, on the intergenerational correlations in attainment, and on estimates of intergenerational transfers of time and money.
