The Response of Household Parental Investment to Child Endowments RAND Working Paper Series No. WR-404-1, RAND, April 2008. Also: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=999821 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: RAND Keyword(s): Birthweight; Family Models; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Motor and Social Development (MSD); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) The theoretical and empirical literature on parental investment focuses on whether child-specific parental investments reinforce or compensate for a child's initial endowments. However, many parental investments, such as neighborhood quality and family size and structure, are shared wholly or in part among all children in a household. The empirical results of this paper imply that such household parental investments compensate for low endowments, as proxied by low birth weight. |
