Intergenerational Transfers and the Economic Attainment of Women: A Comparative Analysis of the Parental Role Report No. 16, Center for the Social Sciences, Columbia University, 1978 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Center for the Social Sciences, Columbia University Keyword(s): Bias Decomposition; Earnings; Family Background and Culture; Fathers, Influence; Husbands, Income; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Schooling; Transfers, Family; Transfers, Parental Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Attempts to disentangle the effects of basic retrospective inputs associated with the economic achievement of mature women and to estimate them empirically use a conceptual framework largely guided by the consideration that, in addition to external factors (cultural, social, biological, etc.), investment in schooling results from optimizing estimation of parental effects, their separation from the effects of schooling, and the attempt to draw inferences about their relative size--all posing theoretical and statistical problems which are not trivial. Dealing with these problems in some detail, the first part of the paper has prescribed workable empirical tests based on a consistent estimation procedure. This procedure is implemented in the second part of the paper by testing Marchall's hypotheses (as to the rank impact of the parents on child development) against actual data from the NLS of Mature Women (ages 37-51 in 1974). |

The Economic Attainment of Women: A Comparative Analysis of the Parental Role Economica 46 (November 1979): 427-433. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2553681 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Bias Decomposition; Earnings; Fathers, Influence; Husbands, Income; Mothers, Education; Schooling This study provides a framework for estimating the differential impact of a woman's mother and father on marriage and work. Using own earnings and husband's earnings as available approximations for these two aspects of feminine success, the relative effects of the parents are estimated. In regard to schooling and husband's income, evidence shows that women are more strongly influenced by their mothers' education than their fathers'; however, the reverse is true for daughters' earning capacity. |
