Intra-Familial Interactions and Juvenile Substance Use: Theory and Empirical Evidence from the Children of NLSY-79 Working Paper, Department of Economics, The Ohio State University, August 2001 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Economics, The Ohio State University Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Drug Use; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Parenthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines the interactions between parents and children in an incentive model framework and attempts to make predictions about the importance of parenting regimes for substance use in households. Thus the study aims to understand what is the role of parent-child interactions in the substance use by young children focusing on smoking cigarettes and alcohol consumption. The results of the paper show that parenting regime is not significant in predicting substance abuse for the children in the sample. The paper does establish the importance of family background factors in determining substance use, including parental substance use.

3.	The Role of Parenting Style in Child Substance Use Working Paper, Department of Economics, The Ohio State University, December 18, 2002 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Economics, The Ohio State University Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Child Self-Administered Supplement (CSAS); Drug Use; Modeling, Probit; Parent-Child Relationship/Closeness; Parental Influences; Parenting Skills/Styles; Parents, Behavior; Smoking (see Cigarette Use); Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Strategic interactions between parents and children are potentially important in predicting the behaviour of the children. This dissertation adopts an inter-disciplinary approach drawing from development psychology and the economics of incentives to develop and estimate a model of the effects of parenting styles on the psychosocial process leading to substance use by children ages 10-14. The dissertation uses the Baumrind classification of authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and disengaged parents to construct parenting styles according to the dimensions of demandingness and responsiveness. Principal component analysis is used to develop indices of these two dimensions from a series of categorical responses to questions about usual parental reactions to misbehaviour. Scaling technique is used to check the coefficients for the degree of inter-item consistency. A game theoretic model is developed that captures repeated interactions between parents and children. The prediction of the model that disincentive effects for child substance use can be ranked from greatest to least as parenting style moves from Authoritative to Authoritarian to Permissive to Disengaged is tested using the NLSY-79 Mother-Child data set. Specifically, a probit model is estimated separately for smoking and alcohol use taking parenting style as exogenous. The results of the dissertation show that parenting style is significant and that including these variables leads to a more complete model of behaviour. Disengaged parents are most likely to have children smoking and consuming alcohol followed by Authoritarian and Authoritative and Permissive Parents. The dissertation also establishes the importance of family background factors, particularly parental substance use, in determining child substance use. Thus the expected utility theory in the standard economic model can be supplemented with psychological variables in order to provide an empirical model of behavior. This study examines the role of parenting styles using an economic model and a new methodology to enable an understanding of the psychosocial processes of adolescence and predict substance use by young children.

Strategic interactions between a parent and a child within a family have been deemed important in predicting the behaviour of the child. The dissertation adopts an interdisciplinary approach that uses the methodology of development psychology and the economics of incentives in order to develop an estimable model of parenting styles on substance use by children ages 10-14. The dissertation relies on the Baumrind classification of authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and disengaged parenting types, and constructs parenting styles according to the dimensions of demandingness and responsiveness. The economics of this dissertation relies on an underlying economics of intrahousehold bargaining reasoning that interactions between the parent and the child influence the child's decision on substance use. The model is solved based on exogenous parenting style but parenting style could be taken as endogenous as the data rejects the hypothesis of no switching convincingly. The NLSY-79 Mother-Child dataset is used and in the empirical specification a probit model is used for the different forms of substance use by the child to estimate the probabilities of taking substances. Disengaged parents are most likely to have children smoking and consuming alcohol and authoritative parents are least likely to have children smoking and consuming alcohol. The dissertation establishes the importance of family background factors in determining substance use, including parental substance use. Thus the economic models of household bargaining can be supplemented with variables from the development psychology literature.
