中文摘要
本研究探讨父母资源轨迹与儿童发展之间的关系及其对代际流动的影响。通过修正儿童技能形成技术以纳入青春期新出现的技能，我们分析了家庭资源时点对人生结果、教育获得和犯罪参与的重要性。父母的经济资源可部分抵消儿童人力资本中非金钱投入不足的影响。对儿童结果代际影响的估计，很大程度上受到选择终身父母收入指标还是即时(截面)父母收入指标的影响。在衡量家庭资源时，最具预测力的儿童年龄因所分析的结果而异。
Abstract
This study explores relationships between parental resource trajectories and child development and their implications for intergenerational mobility. By modifying the child skill formation technology to incorporate new skills emerging during adolescence, we analyze the importance of the timing of family resources on life outcomes, educational attainment, and participation in crime. Parental financial resources partially offset deficiencies in nonpecuniary inputs to children’s human capital. Estimates of the intergenerational influence on child outcomes are strongly influenced by the choice of lifetime versus snapshot parental income measures. The most predictive ages of children when family resources are measured vary by the outcome analyzed.
