Do Parents' Social Skills Influence Their Children's Sociability? PIE/CIS Discussion Paper No. 466, Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi University Repository, March 2010.

Several studies find that social skills are important determinants of labor market outcomes, including occupation and wages. This paper examines the causal effect of parents' social skills on children's sociability, using the U.S. National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). This survey, like some other national surveys, lacks detailed information on parents; to remedy this deficiency we use occupational characteristics from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) to proxy for parental skills. By utilizing various measures of social skills, we find that parents' social skills have a positive effect on children's sociability along gender lines. |
