Millennials, or those born between 1980 and 1998, face unique financial situations relative to the general population. With increasing levels of educational loans and debt, many choose to live with their parents as a means of financial support, thus resulting in differing financial behaviors when compared to Millennials who live independently. This paper analyzes the effect of parental coresidence on debt, asset ownership, and asset values. We find evidence linking parental coresidence with decreases in magnitude and likelihood of having debt, along with significant differences in "risky" and "safe" asset ownership and valuations. Moreover, we find causal evidence that parental coresidence is used as a mechanism to decrease general debt.

This paper examines how macroeconomic factors influence household decision making with regard to human capital investment. We provide evidence suggestive of a causal relationship between macroeconomic indicators and the decision to pursue graduate education. Overall, we find graduate school enrollment is counter-cyclical with the business cycle and the magnitude of the relationship between macroeconomic indicators and the specific type of graduate school programs varies. In particular, we find differential racial effects of the business cycle on graduate school enrollment. The magnitude of the effects of the business cycle on graduate school enrollment is greater for some under-represented minority groups.
