Intra-Household Transfers While Children are Still at Home Presented: Detroit, MI, Population Association of America Meetings, April-May 2009 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): American Time Use Survey (ATUS); Family Resources; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Siblings; Time Use; Transfers, Parental Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Past research has focused on the degree to which bequests and inter-vivo transfers are allocated equally among an individual's children. This research has largely ignored how resources are allocated among children who are still at home. We use data from the NLSY, American Times Use Survey, and Census PUMS, to look sibling differences in parent-child time and frequency of being read to (as time investments), and enrollment in a private school (as a money investment). We find that parents allocate time and money resources to each of their children equally about 60-70% of the time (providing evidence of an equity motive that is in line with measures of bequest behavior). We also explore some of the factors that influence families to deviate from an equitable allocation. |
