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福祉。该项目设计了12分钟的新内容，分为两个新模块-家庭名册模块和家庭转移模块，将添加到2013年PSID面试中。这些创新模块将提供新的公共使用数据，以了解经济优势跨代传递的机制，并使PSID成为唯一一个代表美国全体人口的长期小组，以研究生命历程和时间，金钱和共同居住的多代交流。该项目有五个目标：第一，我们牵头设计新的数据模块，将所有生活在贫困地区的儿童和家长以及贫困家庭的户主和配偶登记在册，获得关于每一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负责人和妻子，他们年长的父母之间最近的时间和金钱转移，以及他们的成年子女和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，第一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，重点关注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年和2013年新模块中收集的转移信息联系起来：a）检查两个时间点上家庭之间给予/接受的变化，以及B）评估早年从父母那里获得时间或金钱援助的儿童是否更有可能在以后的生活中帮助父母。第四，我们探讨了两种形式的转移，父母对他们的成年子女的相对重要性-投资于子女的高等教育和提供;生者之间的财富转移-在产生有据可查的代际经济成就的相关性。最后，我们使用的信息收集的父母，公婆，和孩子的花名册上探索的整体特征的PSID样本的影响，在实现代际相关性，并估计代际转移的时间和金钱。

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.
