All in the Family: A Simultaneous Model of Parenting Style and Child Conduct
构建了一个修正的委托代理模型,将儿童视为主动参与者,在父母选择的教养策略下最大化自身福祉,并用1994年加拿大儿童纵向调查数据验证了教养与儿童行为的联立性。
The upbringing of children is modeled as a modified principal agent problem in which children attempt to maximize their own well-being when faced with a parenting strategy chosen by the parent, to maximize parent's perception of family well-being. Thus, children as well as parents are players, but children have higher discount rates than parents. The simultaneity of parenting and child behaviour is confirmed using the 1994 Canadian National Longitudinal Survey of Children.
