DIVORCE AND THE COGNITIVE ACHIEVEMENT OF CHILDREN
研究了离婚对儿童认知成就的影响，通过动态模型分析父母婚姻状态、互动方式和子女投资决策，评估离婚是否真正损害儿童发展。
Children of divorced parents exhibit lower test scores and educational attainment. Have these correlations a causal interpretation? Parents who divorce may be less likely to invest in their children while together or they may divorce to shield their children from the effects of marital conflict. I study the relationship between children's achievement and the marital status of their parents within a dynamic framework in which partners decide on whether to remain married, how to interact (with or without conflict), and child investments. I then assess whether a child whose parents divorced would have been better off had divorce not occurred.
