Parental Paternalism and Patience
Kiessling, Lukas; Chowdhury, Shyamal; … - 2021
We study whether and how parents interfere paternalistically in their children’s intertemporal decision-making. Based on experiments with over 2,000 members of 610 families, we find that parents anticipate their children’s present bias and aim to mitigate it. Using a novel method to measure...

Nakagawa, Masao; Sugimoto, Yoshiaki - 2009
This paper develops a theory in which households prepare for future education by adjusting the number of children they intend to raise. Income inequality lowers output per worker only if the inequality is attributed in some part to unexpected disturbances after childbirth.

A note on the importance of normalizations in dynamic latent factor models of skill formation
Del Bono, Emilia; Kinsler, Josh; Pavan, Ronni - 2020
Research on child skill formation and related policies typically rely on parent- reported measures of child non-cognitive skills. In this paper, we show that parental assessments of child non-cognitive skills are directly affected by the skills of the parents. We develop a dynamic model of child...
