The Intergenerational Transfer of Welfare Dependency: Some Statistical Evidence
利用母女配对样本，在控制可观测和不可观测异质性后，发现母亲领取福利会增加女儿未来对福利的依赖，为福利依赖的代际传递提供了统计证据。
Does a mother's welfare receipt increase the future dependency of her children? Does the welfare system, thus, stimulate the dependency of future generations? Parameter estimates reported here suggest such intergenerational effects. The sample comprises young girls and their mothers. After control for observed and unobserved heterogeneity, a mother's welfare participation is found to increase her daughter's later welfare dependency. Copyright 1992 by MIT Press.
