This paper analyzes the way in which the timing of a family disruption alters the correlation in earnings of fathers and sons. Here, disruption is defined as any event which results in a departure from a traditional nuclear family structure. These include separation, divorce or death. The paper uses matched father-son pairs from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the National Longitudinal Surveys. Least squares regression techniques are used to estimate models which alternatively specify family disruption by an indicator variable and, conditioned on a family disruption having occurred, the age of the child at the time of family disruption.
