老年家庭人口的增长及其不同的经济状况突出表明，有必要研究老年经济援助的模式。提出的建议将代际财政支助概念化为权变和动态的。数据取自欧洲股票市场的第一浪至第六浪。金融支持的实证检验模型随着时间的推移而变化。这项研究的发现表明，稳定的给予和接受是非常特殊的。在我们的研究涵盖的12年期间，大多数受访者在任何两个时间点都没有给予或接受财政支持。老龄化、生活安排的变化，特别是经济状况，影响着在给予和不给予以及接受或不接受财政援助之间转变的可能性。对四个欧洲福利制度的比较显示，不提供任何财政支持的倾向主要在地中海和东欧国家突出，而得不到后代持续财政支持的可能性主要在以大陆和地中海福利制度为特征的国家突出。在社会民主党和欧洲大陆福利制度的财政支持方面似乎没有互惠，但我们确实在地中海和东欧制度中找到了这种互惠的证据。尽管如此，财政和社会支助的代际交流模式在所有福利制度中都有所体现。
The growing population of elderly households, and their diverse economic circumstances, underscores the need to study the patterns of financial assistance in advanced ages. The proposition presented conceptualizes intergenerational financial support as contingent and dynamic. Data are drawn from Wave I to Wave VI of SHARE-Europe. The empirical examination models changes over time in financial support. The study's findings show that steady giving and receiving is quite exceptional. Most respondents did not engage in giving or receiving financial support at any two time points during the 12 year period covered by our study. Aging, changing living arrangements, and especially economic circumstances affect the likelihood of shifting between giving and not giving as well as receiving or not receiving financial assistance. Comparisons across four European welfare regimes reveal that the propensity to refrain from giving any financial support is salient mainly in Mediterranean and Eastern European states, whereas the likelihood of not receiving sustained financial support from offspring is salient mainly in states characterized by the Continental and the Mediterranean welfare regimes. There appears to be no reciprocity with respect to financial support in Social Democratic and Continental welfare regimes, but we do find evidence of such reciprocity in the Mediterranean and Eastern European regimes. Nonetheless, patterns of intergenerational exchanges of financial and social support are manifested in all welfare regimes.
