Data are drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) main file and the child/young adult data sets. The study sample (n=750) includes children who were 11 to 14 years old in 1994. Data related to parental assets, expectations, and other parent characteristics are taken from the survey year 1994, and children's college graduation is measured in 2006, when these children were 23 to 26 years old. In this way, a temporal order is established between assets/liabilities, expectations, and children's later college graduation.
